Hello Sim,
As part of the creation of the new roundabout at the doensch of Maine Ave and Texas Ave, the
University of Maine System has agreed to deed approximately 6200 square feet of land on its
Bangor campus to the City of Bangor. We do so in order to allow that parcel to become part of
the street system already controlled by the City and to avoid Cenfneion about responsibility
for all parts of the roundabout. We request that the Cityaccept/dedicate it for highway right
of way purposes, in perpetuity. We had originally intended to transfer the property to the
State of Maine, but the BUT decided that a direct transfer to the City would be preferable.
1 have attached a draft of the proposed deed, in pdf format, for your use In presenting 1t t
the City Council. It has occurred to me that may west to put a reversion states in the final
deed, so you might want to introduce that idea to the Council as well
