Eastern Trail Connectivity Study Community Workshop

Tuesday, April 30, 6:30 – 8:00 pm

Eliot Town Hall, 1333 State Road

Study Background

The municipalities of Kittery, Eliot, York, South Berwick, and North Berwick, in collaboration with the Eastern Trail Alliance (ETA), the Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC), and the MaineDO are overseeing the Eastern Trail (ET) Connectivity Study. Led by the planning/engineering firm VHB, the study will evaluate alternatives, costs, potential impacts, constraints, and seek public input to recommend locations for future segments of the ET between the Route 1 Bridge (Memorial Bridge) in Kittery and North Berwick.

While the ultimate goal is to recommend a route for a continuous off-road trail, the alternatives include a variety of potential configurations, including modifications to on-road facilities. Potential route options may include:

  • Shared-use paths along utility corridors
  • Shared use path alongside a public road
  • Boardwalk segments over wetlands and small streams
  • Striped bike lanes or wide shoulders on roadways
  • Travel lane shared by all users on rural roads with low traffic volumes and/or speeds

The 18-month study began in late 2023 and is expected to finish in early 2025. From there, the Eastern Trail Alliance, SMPDC, and individual municipalities will seek funding through grants and other sources to implement the priority recommendations from the study.
