• Abstract:
  The National Park Service is developing reuse alternatives in anticipation of the U.S. Navy’s turnover of its base on Big Moose Island on Schoodic Peninsula. This report identifies and assesses alternate transportation alternatives to help ensure that the Park meets its goal of maintaining the quiet and scenic condition of the Schoodic parkland. The transportation alternatives considered include combinations of ferry services from Bar Harbor to Winter Harbor, properly linked bus services at each terminal as well as for a substitute for ferry service, enhancements of bicycling opportunities, and provision of park and ride facilities. The report also includes an assessment of roadway impacts in and around the Schoodic parkland resulting from the reuse and implementation of the transportation alternatives.
