The City of South Portland has received numerous requests to improve traffic safety within the Cash Corner neighborhood. As a result, the City and GPCOG undertook a study to investigate traffic conflicts in the Cash Corner neighborhood and ways the City could improve the situation.
A number of traffic installations went in on a pilot basis from August to October to address various traffic conflicts (especially truck traffic on neighborhood streets and speeding, which based on survey results and data collection, were of the most concern). Based on the data collected before and after the traffic installations, GPCOG made a number of recommendations to be implemented on a short- and long-term basis.
