Eastern Maine Development CorporationCorridor: Midcoast US Route 1 (Warren to Prospect)Regional Priority Rank: 1
The Midcoast US Rte. 1 Corridor centers on Principal Arterial US Route 1, a two-lane highway for nearly all of its length in the corri-dor, and includes the municipalities of Warren, Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport and Camden in Knox County, and Lincolnville, Northport, Belfast, Searsport, and Stockton Springs in Waldo County.
Transportation Objectives:• Ease Rte. 1 congestion through context-sensitive design.• Improve collector roads accessing Rte. 1.• Increase use of trains, ferries, and park and ride lots, and develop efficient commuter, tourist bus and rail options.• Invest in on- and off-road trails linking schools, and residential and recreational areas to encourage non-vehicle tourism options, emphasizing coastal villages.
Land Use Objectives:• Implement Comprehensive Plan land use elements.• Develop consistent, effective access management and context- sensitive design ordinances for village, urban compact areas.• Promote municipal and citizen participation in the Gateway 1 Strategic Planning Process.
Economic Development Objectives:• Improve service center access to employment opportunities through road improvements and commuting facilities.• Work with service center communities and major employers (100 or more employees) on commuter bus and van options.• Work with municipalities and businesses to develop impact fees for major projects to fund improvements to maintain corridors while allowing for continued economic development. • Support working waterfronts and tourism through Small Harbor Improvement Program (SHIP) and other funding op- portunities.

Eastern Maine Development CorporationCorridor: Acadia Express (Holden to Bar Harbor) Regional Priority Rank: 2
The US Rte. 1A/State Rte. 3 Corridor crosses Holden in Penob-scot County, and Dedham, Ellsworth, Trenton and Bar Harbor in Hancock County. This corridor is the primary arterial for Hancock County, carrying millions of visitors to Acadia National Park, commuters, truck freight, and local traffic.
Transportation Objectives:• Reduce congestion delays on Rtes. 1A and 3, particularly in the Ellsworth business district and the Thompson Island Bridge. Alternative strategies include road widening, better access management, and construction of a bypass.
