Presenters outline living-shoreline design options for two Kittery Route 1 sites
Summary
Climate Ready Kittery presenters proposed three nature-based "living shoreline" designs each for the Gate @ and Spruce Creek Crossing Route 1 sites, flagged a likely need to raise the road at Gate 2 and noted plans to seek funding and hold public engagement in May.
Laura Berry (Southern Maine Planning and Development), Jessica Brunacini (Wells Reserve) and Annie Cox (PREP) presented Climate Ready Kittery design work for two Route 1 sites on March 3, proposing three nature-based "living shoreline" alternatives for each site.
Presenters described the sites as Gate @ and Spruce Creek Crossing (Route 1 and Spruce Creek). They said the designs aim to reduce coastal vulnerability using nature-based approaches. For one site (referred to as Gate 2 in the minutes) the work will likely require raising the road and addressing stormwater management. The team said it will seek funding for design and construction and plans to discuss public engagement in May.
No formal vote was taken on the designs at the committee meeting; the presentation was recorded in the minutes for committee consideration and future public engagement steps.
