Porta Potties

To all those looking for Porta Potties in Blue Hill – we’re hearing from some….

We are trying VERY hard to get 4 Porta Potties – 2 at the Town Park and 2 at the South Blue Hill Wharf. We have one headed to the Town Park (being serviced we think) and will hopefully be there very soon.

Because of the increased demand caused by events in the area, new home construction and upgrades, manpower and material shortages, as well as other unknown factors, they are DARN hard to get. We are not alone in this issue.

We will get the other three (3) delivered as soon as we can confirm a source that services (and regularly maintains) units on the Peninsula and will have them available. We hope sooner than later.

Roadwork

The Maine DOT roadwork in the Blue Hill Village will start up again with, some night work will start at about 6:30pm Sunday the 26th and last for about a week in the roundabout area with some night striping of the completed road areas and some other day work in various places.

Other road lines, some of which the town has done, crosswalks and some revised signage for them will be coming soon. There will be some minor location adjustments and permanent crosswalk signage in key locations including one blinking crosswalk sign like on Tenny Hill when we can get that completed.

Main St. Paving completion – Pleasant St to the Fairgrounds will start up in late July. The bad section near the Post Office has been patched.

South Street Sidewalk: Work will begin just after the 4th of July and go for 6 weeks. The work will start at the end of the sidewalk by First Bank and extend just past the Bay School. ALL of the work will be on that side of the road except a 2 day (night only) move of the flashing lights near the school crosswalk.

East Blue Hill Road Ditching and culvert work in underway. Will hopefully address heavy rain and winter drainage issues that have caused a lot of thick ice in the last few years.

Falls Bridge Road – Repaving starts towards the end of July!
