Gentlemen,
As the o n
of land abutting the unused (for. 29 consecutive
year$) portion of Webster Avenue running between 1.-395 and Perry Road,
we have the following request.
Since the area has become unsightly with wild brush, a ditch and a
barricade to prevent its use by highway vehicles, it is our desire to
give our
company's abutting land, combined with, 1£ passible, this
abandoned portion of the City's street, to the Cole Family Foundation, for
not-for-profit, major (100 vehicles or more) land transportation
including parking and landscaping. Because of significant land
topography problems, plus a beautiful stand of mature pine trees on our
'property which should be retained, it would be desirable to obtain the
entire street width. This additional acreage would make for an ideal
museum location.
If it is deemedbythe City that this portion of Webster Ave. will
not be used as a street, and since it is o understanding that the
w
State of Maine also o certain right of ways to some of this land, it
is requested that theCity take action in working with the. State to
return this land to the abutting owners. -
With the excellent support being received statewide for a land
transportation museum to he centrally located in Maine, here in Bangor,
your' early actionwould be appreciated. -
sincere �ly, %� J///y/
Galen L. Cole,
ee, John Frawley President
