Recreational Marijuana Survey

Dear North Yarmouth Residents,   With Maine voting to legalize recreational and medicinal marijuana, we are seeking to take a proactive approach to create North Yarmouth guidelines for marijuana businesses.  We, as the Economic Development & Sustainability Committee (EDSC), are administering this survey to get an initial pulse on our community’s position.  Thank you for participating in this survey and helping us get a better picture of what our residents think is best for our community.    Click here to go to the survey.     If you would like a printed copy of the survey mailed to you please contact Draven at (207)829-3705 ext 208 (option 4) or email dwalker@northyarmouth.org

New Traffic Light Patterns in Falmouth

The Maine Department of Transportation has activated the traffic lights at Bucknam and Legion Roads to support traffic movement from Interstate 295 and Bucknam Road during rush hour or incidents of unusual volume. Several changes were also implemented at traffic signals at the intersections of Middle (Route 9), Bucknam, and Falmouth Roads, known as Falmouth Corners.   Residents are advised to pay careful attention to new traffic light patterns when approaching this area. Changes will impact all approaches to the Falmouth Corners intersection and how vehicular traffic moves through it. Once conditions return to normal and traffic volumes increase, Maine DOT will monitor and adjust the lights as necessary.
