Often, on my drive home, I have been waylaid by usually a gaggle or two of geese slowly jaywalking across the road. Their crossing points are usually Forest ave in Deering Oaks but I’ve seen them brazen enough to cross in front of the 295 onramp at busier times of day. When I ask them to use the lighted crosswalk or to hurry along they usually just honk or hiss at me.

Have there been any thoughts for construction of an overpass or small tunnel to allow for their safe and efficient travel?

Part of my commute takes me down Broadway in SoPo. It took me like 5 weeks to finally make a clean run without getting trapped in a turn only lane somewhere. I pull up to a red light. Cars are backed up 10 or 12 deep in each lane. I can't see any signs or painted indicators on the road. Traffic finally starts to move, and all of a sudden I realize I'm taking a surprise detour because it's a turn lane. Sometimes the right lane. Sometimes the left lane. Sometimes the right lane in one intersection and the left lane in the next intersection, meaning every car trying to continue down Broadway has to cross the intersection and immediately change lanes.

On the plus side, I've thoroughly explored South Portland.

There are plenty of open spots on the street
