Section of Bike Path to Undergo Construction Beginning next month, a 2,000-foot section of the Bike Path that stretches from Old Town to Orono through the University of Maine will be unusable until spring as construction starts on a new sewer line. The new pipeline for Old Town will be installed from the pump station off College Avenue through fields and along a power line adjacent to the J. Franklin Witter Center. It then will follow a route parallel to Stillwater Avenue, bisecting the Bike Path twice before falling on 2,000 feet of the Path at the Perkins Avenue entrance in Old Town. The Bike Path beginning at the Civil Defense Maine Shelter will remain intact, except for one small section where the pipeline will cross, according to Old Town officials. Pedestrians and bicyclists who traditionally use the Perkins Avenue entrance of In Perspective the Bike Path will be most inconvenienced.

Striking a balance between the needs of pedestrians and motorists at the University of Maine has become increas­ ingly difficult in recent years, according to campus planners. “Are we primarily a pedestrian campus or is our primary planning purpose to accommodate those who drive?” asked Anita Wihry, chair of the University Facilities and Campus Planning Committee and director of UM’s Institutional Planning. “The Munson Road on the west, Flagstaff Road on the east, Long answer to that question determines the amount of asphalt versus grass on campus.” Road on the north and Sebago on the south, the area between the Maine Center for the Arts, Fogler Library, Alumni, Lord A number of recommendations made by members of the University community in the development of a capital plan by and Aubert Halls and over to Corbett, Boardman, Barrows, Nov. 1 and campus master plan by Dec. 1 have reflected the Neville Halls and the Corbett Business Administration concern about maintaining as much green space as possible, Building will become a pedestrian core. Parking in this area Wihry said. The campus input mirrors the preliminary discus­ will be limited to visitor and handicapped-designated spaces only. sions of the University Facilities and Campus Planning The two largest parking lots in that area - the Stevens Hall Committee to refocus on the Stillwater River and incorporate more recreational and aesthetic green space into campus plan­ lot and Alumni/Lord Hall lot, will be redesignated. The loss of ning. parking to green space in such a pedestrian core constitutes “People prize landscaping and they recognize the beauty of less than 6 percent of all the parking on campus, according to campus as an attractive feature,” Wihry said. “We also know Wihry. continued on page 15 that the appearance of a campus helps attract students. But while issues of green space are caught up in concerns about the ambiance of campus, we all know how much parking has been a Look Who’s On Campus concern on campus in recent years. We’re trying to strike a balance.” Ellis Cowling, professor at large, North The Committee is now developing a proposal to take the first Carolina State University, will speak on step in a multi-step, multi-year process to further the greening campus Oct. 9 as part of the Distinguished of campus.

Altering the canopy, Schupp says, lets more light in so that all the leaves on the tree are producing sugar at peak effi­ ciency. “There’s a saying that an apple grower just starting out goes 500 Saturday nights without a paycheck. Well, we’re trying to cut that in half,” Schupp says. The ongoing research could be important to new growers in the state. Schupp estimates that it costs $3,000-$5,000 an acre to start an apple orchard. Then it takes three or four years before there is any return, and at least eight to 10 years before the initial investment is paid back. Although Maine is only 15th in apple production of the 50 states, the industry represents about $18 million in annual revenues. Maine now runs neck and neck with Massachusetts as the largest New England apple-growing state and produces more apples than New Hampshire and Vermont combined. Maine growers this year are harvesting a record crop, up 15 percent over average production and estimated to be 2.3 million bushels.
