Downs, Director of Public Assembly Facilities Division DATE: ​ April 9, 2026 RE: ​ Council Agenda Item – Old Port Half Marathon& 5K I am requesting that the following order be placed on the next City Council agenda: Order authorizing and declaring Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K to be held on Saturday, June 6, 2026 as a Festival. EVENT DESCRIPTION: The Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K is a for-profit event, however, A Running Passion (and other non-profits in the area) all benefit from race proceeds. This race has been held in the city for fourteen (14) years. (This will be the 15th.) This year, the number of half marathon and 5K runners is estimated to be 4,500 people total. Due to restrictions enacted by Maine State Police & Maine Department of Transportation, this will be the third year the race is no longer allowed to include the temporary closure of highway offramps. The race organizer has worked directly with City staff (Police, Fire, Traffic & Event Permitting) to establish a new race route and times to accommodate those restrictions. The race organizer is also working with businesses throughout the Old Port and the waterfront, including those along Center Street, Fore Street, Middle Street, and Commercial Street to inform them about expected impacts and to develop contingency plans. The Order should include the following items: (1) The Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K be authorized for Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 3:00am – 11:30am, to be held in Portland, along city streets and trails. The start corral for the half marathon race is on Spring Street between Center Street and Union Street; and on Cross St between Free Street and Spring St for the 5K. The finish chute area is on Spring Street. The start of the half marathon race is at 7:00 am, and the start of the 5K race is at 7:35 am. (2) As part of the post-race event, a food and 21+ beer garden will be set up in a privately owned lot at One Portland Square Parking at 50 Cross Street (approx. 67,410 sq ft of open space), and open from 7:30am – 12:30pm. Organizers will hire Police Officers for this area and will have an ambulance & EMS staff on site for the duration of the event. The area of Spring Street (Center Street to Union Street) and abutting sidewalks is the designated Festival Zone. As such, it is closed to street vendors pursuant to Section 19-17 of the Portland City 212 Canco Road Suite A, Portland, Maine 04103 | c: 207.808-5400 | recreation@portlandmaine.gov Page 65 Code and is reserved for the use of the race organizer for the purpose of conducting the Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5k, subject to the direction and control of the City Manager.

In the event the start of the Half Marathon is delayed, the ending times of the above street closures would also be delayed/pushed back. For Commercial Street, the “west-bound” lane (Union St to Valley St) will be closed to traffic and used for runners. Police will close access to the east-bound lane to regular traffic starting at Valley St and West Commercial Street from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. However, Police will allow commercial vehicles that need access to the waterfront businesses. The waterside (east-bound lane) will only be open to vehicles coming from the waterfront businesses. A single row of barricades will be placed on Commercial St to divide the east and west bound lanes from Valley Street to Franklin Street. Vehicles will be permitted to cross over Commercial Street at the intersections of Park Street, Union Street, Pearl Street, and Franklin St (with police assistance, when space between runners allowed). For Commercial Street proper (Union St to Franklin St), the runner’s lane will be down the “center turn lane” of Commercial Street. Two rows of barricades will be used. At this point along Commercial Street, there are 2 lanes for vehicles (westbound and eastbound – one on either side of the runners). For streets near the beginning of the race route, Eastern Promenade and Fore Street (down to Hancock Street), a row of cones will be placed down the middle, and a runners lane will be setup on the water side of the street (so vehicles will still flow on the other side of the street). For streets near the end of the race route, York Street (High Street to Center Street), a row of cones will be placed down the middle, and a runners lane will be set up on the water side of the street (so vehicles will still flow on the other side of the street). Some streets will need to be posted "No Parking," including Spring Street, Center Street, Cross Street, Fore Street, Eastern Promenade Road, and possibly other streets along the race route. Cars parked illegally at these “No Parking” signs will be towed at the owner's expense. In addition, the trails will have restricted use. Back Cove Trail, Eastern Prom Trail and Bayside Trail will need to be posted “Bicycles, Baby Strollers and Pets, not permitted on Trails during OPHM Race, Saturday, 7 – 10am.” Signs to be posted along the trails by organizer, a week in advance. 212 Canco Road Suite A, Portland, Maine 04103 | c: 207.808-5400 | recreation@portlandmaine.gov Page 67 The City Manager is authorized to issue a revocable permit under Section 25-27 of the Municipal Code to the Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K organizer, for the use of the above-described area for said events, subject to the following conditions: ● PA Systems will be set up (announcements & music) and used at the race in a number of locations along the race route, including Spring Street (start and finish line area), Back Cove Parking Lot (off Preble St), Eastern Prom Trail (near Sewage Treatment Plant), Loring Memorial Park, and Harbor View Memorial Park.

Downs, Director of Public Assembly Facilities Division DATE: ​ April 9, 2026 RE: ​ Council Agenda Item – Water Lantern Festival I am requesting that the following order be placed on the next City Council agenda: Order declaring the Water Lantern Festival, as a festival. This will be the fourth year of this well-received community event. It is a gathering in Deering Oaks park launching paper water lanterns for a wide array of memorials and celebrations in life. According to organizers, the Water Lantern Festival is a positive event that promotes peace, community, connection, and love. It’s an awe-inspiring experience that brings together families, friends, and strangers to celebrate our lives, our freedoms, and this beautiful world. This is a time that we can come together, love one another, and heal ourselves. Reflect on your life, share your dreams, and feel the peace of all those around you as the lanterns reflect off the water. There is music from the stage, food trucks, artisans, and fun games in the festival area where participants take in the environment leading up to the lantern launch. With our highly experienced event execution team, detailed event coordination plan, and our commitment to safety and excellence, this is truly an inspiring event. The Water Lantern Festival will begin at 5:30 PM and conclude about 60 minutes after sunset (9:30 PM). The Water Lantern Festival team is committed to: ●​ Coordinate with venue and city managers to ensure their standard safety policies and procedures are in place and functioning. ●​ Stay in close contact with local authorities in the case of adverse weather conditions. ●​ Provide instruction to participants regarding the proper way to release lanterns into the water during the event. Environmental Plan 212 Canco Road Suite A, Portland, Maine 04103 | c: 207.808-5400 | recreation@portlandmaine.gov Page 110 The Water Lantern Festival is a “leave no trace” event. Not only do we pick up the lanterns, but we pick up all of the trash we can find along the way. Lanterns are 100% biodegradable. They are made from rice paper and wood. Trash cans and recycling bins will be dispersed throughout the venue. Staff are on trash duty throughout the event and will continue to gather garbage after participants have gone home for the evening. RECOVERY PROCEDURES PLAN The Recovery Procedures Plan for the One World Lantern Festival consists of three separate phases: Phase 1: During and immediately after the lantern launch. Phase 2: Two to three hours post launch. Phase 3: The morning after the lantern launch. 1 - DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LAUNCH We will station a lantern spotter in the water (on an inflatable boat) where they will have good visibility of the lantern area. They will be equipped with walkie talkies and collection bins. Our team will remain in that general area for the duration of the launch. They will begin the cleanup of lanterns immediately with event volunteers. All lanterns will be released onto a buoyed, contained portion of the water. 2 - TWO TO THREE HOURS POST LAUNCH The crew will be cleaning up at the venue until at least midnight. We will keep a spotter stationed while we clean up the festival and surrounding area. We will pull the buoy line in from each side to corral the lanterns. We will then send crew members and volunteers to the shoreline to assist in gathering the lanterns. We will retrieve and dispose of every lantern, and any additional trash that we see. 3 - MORNING AFTER THE LAUNCH We will arrive back at the venue in the morning with our internal crew of about 6 people. We will scour the water and the staging area and to ensure that no lanterns or trash remain. SAFETY Safety of our guests, partners, and staff is our top priority. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable event experience for everyone involved and during every aspect of the event. Our core team is very experienced in event production and understands the importance of “Safety First”. 212 Canco Road Suite A, Portland, Maine 04103 | c: 207.808-5400 | recreation@portlandmaine.gov Page 111  All staff and volunteers are trained on lantern assembly and launch. Trained staff are assigned specific areas. Lanterns are 100% biodegradable and are made from rice paper and wood. One World Lantern Festival is a fully insured event. Parking and traffic flow patterns with directional signs in appropriate locations. Drugs and alcohol are not allowed at the event. PRE-LAUNCH A majority of the Water Lantern Festival guests arrive at the venue between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. They bring camp chairs and blankets, and find a spot in the festival area after ticketing to relax and listen to music and enjoy the atmosphere. They purchase snacks from food trucks, play games, and write on their lanterns with provided markers. Portable toilets are available for use. THE LAUNCH The launch will begin during the sunset. The launch window will last anywhere from 60-90 minutes. POST LAUNCH Approximately half of the participants leave quickly after the initial launch. The remaining participants enjoy the winding down music and trickle out by the end of the designated event time. We ask and encourage all participants to pick up any trash they see and dispose of it in the numerous trash cans dispersed throughout the festival area. The Order should include the following items: The Water Lantern Festival will be authorized for September 5th, 2026 at Deering Oaks Park.

This $179.3 million proposal for 2026-2027 is the culmination of a months-long collaborative process involving staff, families and community stakeholders. The theme of this year’s budget, "On Course for Student Success," reflects a pivotal moment for the Portland Public Schools. We are currently in the second year of implementing our five-year Strategic Plan, "One District, One Plan." Our plan calls for keeping equity at the center, strengthening achievement, supporting the whole student, investing in our people, and building effective systems that sustain excellence. This budget is designed to maintain and grow the academic and other social-emotional gains we have achieved under this plan while pursuing operational efficiencies and other savings to mitigate the impact on Portland taxpayers. The Strategic Case for Investment Two years ago, this district launched a commitment to keep equity at the center of every decision. We are now seeing the measurable return on that investment. Recent data confirms improved outcomes in both reading and math, with significant growth among economically disadvantaged students, multilingual learners and students with individualized education programs (IEPs). Beyond academics, chronic absenteeism has decreased in the last year and we’ve had fewer incidents of student suspensions. Fewer students are missing school or being removed from class—more students are engaged in learning. These gains are not isolated successes. They reflect the efforts of everyone in our District, from custodians to HR analysts, teachers to principals, and everyone else focused on improving experiences and outcomes for students. They demonstrate that our Strategic Plan is delivering results. 3 Page 166 This budget maintains the core of that progress: In Achievement, this budget invests in high-quality instructional materials for secondary math. We are prepared to adopt a new, research-aligned program that ensures all students have access to rigorous, grade-level tasks. This budget allows us to expand early literacy support by adding education technicians to first grade in three schools. This year, we piloted early literacy education technicians in our Title I kindergarten classes—and early data shows increased progress monitoring and positive academic trends. We are also supporting development of a Local Black History curriculum, building on our leadership in Wabanaki Studies, so that students see themselves reflected in what they learn. This budget includes a half-time staff member to support the development of the Black History curriculum, while the Foundation for Portland Public Schools has committed to paying for any related non-personnel expenses. In Whole Student, we are expanding pre-kindergarten and preparing to assume responsibility for early childhood special education services for four-year-olds, as required by the state. This budget includes a $5.1 million investment, expected to be fully reimbursed by the state, and consequently at no cost to the District. Early intervention strengthens kindergarten readiness and long-term academic outcomes. In Equity and People, we are proposing to extend leadership dedicated to student, family, and community engagement and we’re budgeting for an equity audit and Civil Rights Officer. We are investing in leadership development and expanding tuition reimbursement and ESOL credentialing to strengthen instructional capacity. In Systems, our budget will continue work on financial transparency and facilities planning, increasing school supply budgets using an equity-based formula and advancing the MainePERS reconciliation to ensure fiscal accountability. Navigating Fiscal Challenges: Reductions & Revisions The development of the FY27 budget was marked by significant fiscal pressures. Under the state’s Essential Programs and Services (EPS) formula, Portland faces a $4.1 million decrease in state funding in FY27. This reduction is largely driven by two factors: a decrease in student enrollment and a significant increase in the city’s overall property values. On a slightly more upbeat note, we learned that Portland will receive an additional $420,000 for FY27 that is included in the state supplemental budget that the Legislature recently passed. However, it’s not enough to offset such a large loss in revenue under EPS, and while the Legislature has now approved changes in the 4 Page 167 formula, the earliest that Portland will see any positive impact from the EPS revisions will be FY28. Less state funding means more of a burden on City taxpayers. Recognizing this, both the Board’s Finance Committee and the full Board worked tirelessly to identify savings that would minimize the tax impact while maintaining and investing in student services. Taxpayer Impact and Community Stewardship We on the Board are deeply sensitive to the fact that school funding is a shared community responsibility. Every amendment made during the budget process was viewed through the lens of balancing student needs with the financial reality of Portland residents. For FY27, just as we did for FY25 and F26, we are presenting to you a budget with the entire picture—including not only local funds, but grants, Title funds (federal supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty in meeting educational goals), and the state reimbursement for early childhood special education. The Board’s recommended budget of $179.3 million consists of a local budget of $167 million and $12.3 million in additional funds. If approved, this would result in an estimated 5.68 percent increase in the school portion of the property tax rate. For the owner of a median-priced $566,600 home, the budget would raise property taxes by $201.60 per year or $16.80 per month. Conclusion This budget represents a balanced, honest approach in a difficult fiscal year. It calls for the most efficient use of our resources while continuing to maintain and strengthen the gains our students have made in the past two years. We ask the City Council to support this budget and send it to Portland voters for final approval on June 9. Together, we can ensure that Portland’s public schools remain on course for success, providing the high-quality education our students deserve and that our community expects. Respectfully submitted, Sarah Lentz, Chair Portland Board of Public Education 5 Page 168  Vision All learners will be fully prepared to participate and succeed in a diverse and ever-changing world.

This represented a baseline - the cost of maintaining our current programs, staffing levels, and services into the next school year. By quantifying our existing obligations first, we ensured a transparent foundation before considering any new investments. Key Drivers of the Baseline: • Personnel & Benefits: We maintained current staffing levels, accounting only for contractual salary obligations and a projected 9% increase in healthcare costs. • Operational Efficiency: Non-personnel expenses were capped at 2%, with targeted adjustments only for inflation-sensitive expenditures. • Debt Service: We realized a significant $2.7M savings from the retirement of our pension bond. • Revenue: We held revenue flat with the exception of a $478k reduction in grant funding. • Fund Balance: We held General Ed fund balance usage at the FY26 level of $3.9 million and eliminated fund balance reliance in our Adult Ed and Food Service programs to ensure their long-term sustainability. Based on these assumptions, expenditures would see a 2.7% increase over FY26 and the resulting baseline tax levy increase was projected to be 3.51%. Since establishing this roll forward budget, we incorporated strategic requests from school leaders and department heads. With the unanticipated reduction in State funding due to dthe EPS formula, we carefully made reductions to ensure the final budget is both fiscally responsible and focused on our strategic goals. 21 Page 184 Portland Public Schools FY2027 Expenditure Summary Budget - All Funds Roll Forward Budget January 12, 2026 FY27 ROLLFORWARD FY25 ACTUAL FY26 BUDGET BUDGET $ +/(-) v FY26 % +/- v FY26 SALARIES & BENEFITS Regular & Temporary Salaries $94,179,932 $103,217,955 $107,772,730 $4,554,775 4.4% Total Benefits $27,947,431 $31,904,675 $33,925,082 $2,020,407 6.3% TOTAL SALARIES & BENEFITS $122,127,363 $135,122,630 $141,697,812 $6,575,182 4.9% CONTRACTED SERVICES PreK-12th Contracted Services $1,425,949 $1,675,239 $1,635,304 -$39,935 -2.4% SPED Contracted Services $7,448,681 $4,028,950 $4,109,529 $80,579 2.0% Adult Ed Contracted Services $23,953 $27,764 $28,319 $555 2.0% Ops & Comm Contracted Services $4,564,695 $3,477,823 $3,526,979 $49,156 1.4% Ins & Legal Contracted Services $992,440 $1,175,544 $1,293,098 $117,554 10.0% Facilities Contracted Services $3,465,943 $3,762,225 $3,788,546 $26,321 0.7% Transport Contracted Services $921,832 $867,000 $936,240 $69,240 8.0% TOTAL CONTRACTED SERVICES $18,843,492 $15,014,545 $15,318,016 $303,471 2.0% SUPPLIES Academic Supplies $2,675,205 $2,102,894 $2,165,352 $62,458 3.0% Operations Supplies $5,050,791 $4,793,514 $5,200,084 $406,570 8.5% TOTAL SUPPLIES $7,725,996 $6,896,408 $7,365,436 $469,028 6.8% MISCELLANEOUS $2,411,916 $693,992 $686,802 -$7,190 -1.0% CAPITAL EQUIPMENT $379,547 $482,400 $492,048 $9,648 2.0% DEBT SERVICE $13,075,224 $13,555,724 $10,869,250 -$2,686,474 -19.8% TOTAL NON SALARY AND BENEFITS $42,436,175 $36,643,069 $34,731,551 -$1,911,518 -5.2% TOTAL EXPENDITURES $164,563,538 $171,765,699 $176,429,363 $4,663,664 2.7% 22 Page 185  Fiscal Year 2027 Summary of Expenses 23 Page 186  The FY27 budget includes new investments in early childhood education, secondary math curriculum, and reading support at elementary schools.

I hear you’re voting tonight about whether to clarify/strengthen the rules about city staff not collaborating with ICE. I’m an East End resident, and I want to say that I strongly support reinforcing restrictions on collaboration with immigration enforcement, and I’m asking the council to please vote in favor. I think everyone knows the tension we felt as a community during the surge. Even if you never knew or saw anyone who was abducted, even if you felt removed from the dehumanizing actions of federal agents, you must have felt the fear. It was in the air. It clarified that we really didn’t know whether perceived protections from state enacted violence would hold. As I understand it, the vote tonight is about shoring up those protections. I think it’s essential to 1) take a stand as a city and speak up for the protection of our community, 2) provide and empower workers with a clear cut understanding of their rights and their right and obligation to refuse entry or otherwise not cooperate with federal agencies, 3) make clear to the community that incidents like the texts between ICE and PPD are unacceptable and an egregious betrayal of trust. ICE is still here, still taking people; the surge might be over but the presence is still felt. The absences are still felt. Thanks for your time, please do the right thing vote for Order 180-25/26 Amendment to Portland City Code Chapter 2 RE: Immigration Enforcement. Amelia Neilson Page 321 Order 180-25/26 Jordan VanderBeek jsinghvanderbeek@gmail.com via portlandmaine.gov Fri, Apr 24, 10:38 AM (3 days ago) to publiccomment Dear City Councillors and Mayor Dion, I would like to voice my support for the proposed amendment. ICE has long used extrajudicial means to harass communities--a practice that has only been increased in the current administration. I would, however, like to propose an addition to section 2-2, proposing the Portland Police Department's digital infrastructure be examined for potential avenues of data leaks, especially in regards to companies such as AXON. As seen in the texts between Police Major Jason King and an agent from ICE, the PPD has the resources to install and access cameras designed for surveilling civilian populations without a warrant. As the council recently approved the purchase of a drone for PPD from AXON, I would recommend an official look be taken at potential data leaks to said company. The Department of Homeland Security has a $31.2 million contract with AXON for body cameras as well as software for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement–meaning they are integrated into the AI-powered surveillance network that AXON has been building. A network that captures and stores footage from drones, license plate readers, and public cameras. A network that could allow them to acquire footage in other interactions with Axon’s Software, such as the report assistance tool, Draft One, which uses police body-cam footage and AI to help write police reports. While it has been reported by News Center Maine that both the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department and Portland Police use Draft One, I have heard from officers that use of this program has been discontinued. Use of software provided by AXON as well as by companies such as FLOCK could be creating unknowing cooperation between the city of Portland or the PPD with ICE. I would like to remind the council that a class action lawsuit has been filed against the department of homeland security after an ICE agent took a photo of a Maine resident, their license plate and stated “we have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.” Please consider an amendment to this amendment that would ensure mass surveillance tools are not used to target new Mainers or those who wish to keep them safe.

Page 323  April 24, 2026 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mayor Dion, City Manager West, and Members of the City Council, Chip Leighton My name is Annika Moore, and I am writing on behalf of Preble Street to urge you to President support Order 180-25/26, which prohibits City employees and officials from assisting Yemaya St. Clair federal agents with immigration enforcement. Vice President Joann Bautista Secretary The Portland Police Department’s current policy is not to collaborate with federal Justin Rosner immigration enforcement. This commitment will also be reflected in state law this Treasurer summer, when LD 1971, An Act to Protect Workers in This State by Clarifying the Becca Asen Relationship of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies with Federal Immigration Terry Davies Authorities, takes effect. Order 180-25/26 would extend this protection across all City Chris Ellingwood departments, creating consistency and providing all employees with clear guidance on Lauren Gauthier how to interact with federal immigration enforcement. Joe Ingream Christopher Pyne This policy would also ensure that sensitive information shared with City of Portland John Roberts employees remains confidential, except in cases of serious criminal investigations. Elaine Rosen Portland residents should be able to access City facilities and services without fear Maurice A. Selinger III that their private information will be shared unless required by law. Terry Sutton Jay Tansey Order 180-25/26 will allow City employees to focus on meeting the needs of our Lannie Welch community and prevent local resources from being used in ways that don’t reflect local priorities. Preble Street urges you to pass this critical policy. Mark R.

Sandy Page 325  MEMORANDUM City Council Agenda Item FROM: Emily Bolt, Project Engineer DATE: April 14, 2026 SUBJECT: Order 202-25/26 Approving Cooperative Agreement Between the City of Portland and the Maine Department of Transportation RE: Improvements to Brighton Avenue - Sponsored by Danielle P. West, City Manager SPONSOR: Danielle West, City Manager (If sponsored by a Council committee, include the date the committee met and the results of the vote.) COUNCIL MEETING DATE ACTION IS REQUESTED: 1st Reading 5/5/2026 Final Action 5/18/2026 Can action be taken at a later date: No Does this item involve a new contract with the City: They have been contacted PRESENTATION: N/A I. SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to approve the attached Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) for Brighton Ave to improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and overall pedestrian accessibility and safety. II. AGENDA DESCRIPTION This project will improve approximately 0.5 miles of Brighton Avenue sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops from William Street to Craigie Street. The City’s recommendation is to reconstruct sidewalks to ADA compliance on both sides of Brighton Ave while also upgrading the crosswalks and the bus stops. This item must be read on two separate days. This is its first reading. III. BACKGROUND This section of Brighton Ave has sidewalks in poor condition including stretches that are non- ADA compliant. Along with a mismatch of sidewalk material, poor crosswalk facilities, a lack of multi-modal travel options, and with community centers such as Dougherty Field, Kiwanis Community Pool, and a community garden in the area, a reconstruction of the sidewalks are needed. Using a UPI to match up to half the costs, a larger section of Brighton Ave can be worked on at one time to provide a cohesive project, covering more facilities and reaching more destinations than normally possible. IV. INTENDED RESULT AND/OR COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED The Brighton Ave UPI will improve pedestrian accessibility on an arterial road. This 0.5 mile long corridor, that sees 15,000 vehicles a day, has multiple community destinations that need to be accessed by all modes of transportation. This will also improve safety in a known High Crash Location and a Critical Safety Corridor. V. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City is obligated to pay 50% of the total project, which would be $350,000. MaineDOT, using state funding, will be paying the rest of the project costs, which would be $350,000. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND Page 326 Brighton Ave is a principal arterial. This road services an AADT of 15,000 vehicles per day. This area in particular is also a High Crash Location, a MaineDOT metric, as two pedestrians were struck and injured in the last ten years. It is also classified as a Critical Safety Corridor, a GPCOG metric. On September 25, 2025 PACTS Policy Board approved the prioritized list of 2026 UPI projects, including Brighton Ave. VII.

The program requires at least a 50% local match, and each project is capped at $750,000 in state funds. For more information, please visit https://gpcog.org/669/Urban-Partnership- Initiative. General Project Information Project Name: Brighton Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project - William St to Craigie St Submittal Date: June 30, 2025 Lead Municipality: Portland Partner Municipalities (if applicable): Cape Elizabeth Estimated Total Project Cost: $700,000 UPI Funds Requested $350,000 (must be 50% or less of total project cost, capped at $750,000) Project Location Municipality(ies): Portland Roadway Name: Brighton Avenue Start Point: William Street End Point: Craigie Street Additional Information: Scope of Work Describe the scope of work of the project, including the type of work (e.g. pedestrian accessibility, bicycle infrastructure, traffic calming, paving, drainage, etc.) to be completed. This project is primarily a pedestrian accessibility project that will improve both sides of an approximately 0.50 mile long corridor along Brighton Avenue. This project abuts MaineHealth Brighton Campus, a community garden, Dougherty Field, Kiwanis Community Pool, as well as several local businesses. The road has an AADT of 15,000 vehicles a day making it an extremely busy road that can be hazardous to pedestrians. The portion of Brighton Avenue between Douglass St and St John St (captured within the scope of this project) is classified as a High Crash Location. In the past ten years, two pedestrians were struck and injured along this section of Brighton Avenue. As such, this corridor is classified as a Critical Safety Corridor in GPCOG’s Vision Zero mapping. Page 334  PACTS 2026 Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) Project Application Project Significance Why is this project significant for your community? What solutions does this project aim to achieve? Please explain. As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal it is paramount to keep the pedestrian facilities safe and accessible for everybody. This project will upgrade all of the sidewalk that is not ADA compliant and in poor condition. Currently there are long stretches of sidewalk in this location that are in very poor condition, most notably the sections of sidewalk adjacent to bus stops and several businesses. How will the project improve conditions for transportation users of all modes? As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal arterial roadway it is paramount to keep the pedestrian facilities safe and accessible for everybody. This project aims to achieve a safe accessible multimodal corridor for pedestrians and transit users of all ability levels. These improvements will also help maintenance crews with snow removal and winter maintenance which will allow pedestrians to utilize these facilities in all seasons. Alignment with PACTS Principles Is the project aligned with any of the goals identified in Connect 2045? Please explain. This project will improve conditions for all transportation mode users by creating ADA-compliant sidewalks, ramps and bus stops improving the pedestrian corridor. The existing condition of these sidewalks are rated very poorly according to a 2019 survey of the City of Portland’s sidewalks. The METRO Bus Route 4 has several stops along the proposed project. By improving the condition of the sidewalk along this corridor, we will increase accessibility for pedestrians as well as transit riders. This work aligns with all of the Connect 2045 Goals - by improving the sidewalk we are providing equitable access to all regardless of purpose, destination, or form of travel. This work is also improving safety by providing complete infrastructure and supporting great places due to the adjacent businesses, healthcare facilities, and parks and recreation facilities. Lastly, by improving pedestrian and bus facilities we are expanding choices for people to use alternative modes of transportation such as walking and buses which also help protect the environment by reducing emissions. Is the project aligned with any of the goals and principles of the PACTS Complete Streets Policy? Please explain. This project is aligned with the PACTS Complete Streets policy, as well as the City’s Complete Street policy as it will further enable safe, convenient, and comfortable travel and access for users of all ages and abilities. As stated above, the project meets the Connect 2045 goals which are very similar to the Complete Streets Policy goals such as improving safety, accessibility, combating climate change, and providing access to all types of users. Has the project received council endorsement? Which council endorsed the project and when? If not, when is the endorsement expected? Note: endorsement of the project is required prior to funding or signing any agreement. As Council Endorsement is typically done through the Capital Improvement funding request, that step will happen in the Spring of the construction year. We also must receive Council Approval as part of the agreement process. This is expected to happen in Spring 2026.

West, City Manager SPONSOR: Danielle West, City Manager (If sponsored by a Council committee, include the date the committee met and the results of the vote.) COUNCIL MEETING DATE ACTION IS REQUESTED: 1st Reading 5/4/2026 Final Action 5/18/2026 Can action be taken at a later date: No Does this item involve a new contract with the City: This item has been reviewed PRESENTATION: N/A I. SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to approve the attached Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) for Forest Ave to improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and overall pedestrian accessibility and safety. II. AGENDA DESCRIPTION This project will improve approximately 0.5 miles of Forest Avenue sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops from Morrill Street to Walton Street. The City’s recommendation is to reconstruct sidewalks to ADA compliance on both sides of Forest Ave while also upgrading the crosswalks and the bus stops. This item must be read on two separate days. This is its first reading. III. BACKGROUND This section of Forest Ave has sidewalks in poor condition including stretches that are non-ADA compliant. Along with poor crosswalk facilities, a lack of multi-modal travel options, and with numerous businesses on this stretch, a reconstruction of the sidewalks is needed. Using a UPI to match up to half the costs, a larger section of Forest Ave can be worked on at one time to provide a cohesive project, covering more facilities and reaching more destinations than normally possible IV. INTENDED RESULT AND/OR COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED The Forest Ave UPI will improve pedestrian accessibility on an arterial road. This 0.5 mile long corridor, that sees 18,000 vehicles a day, has multiple businesses that need to be accessed by all modes of transportation. This will also improve safety in a known High Crash Location and a Critical Safety Corridor. V. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City is obligated to pay 50% of the total project, which would be $372,250. MaineDOT, using state funding, will be paying the rest of the project costs, which would be $372,250. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND Forest Ave is a principal arterial. This road services an AADT of 18,000 or more vehicles per day. This area in particular is also a High Crash Location, a MaineDOT metric, as eight Page 338 pedestrians were struck and injured in the last ten years. It is also classified as a Critical Safety Corridor, a GPCOG metric. On September 25, 2025 PACTS Policy Board approved the prioritized list of 2026 UPI projects, including Forest Ave. VII.

This project is primarily a pedestrian accessibility project that will improve both sides of an approximately 0.50 mile long corridor along Forest Avenue just north of the Walton Street intersection to the Morrill Street intersection. This project directly abuts several local businesses, and a 215-unit independent senior living residence. The road has an AADT of 18,000+ vehicles a day making it an extremely busy road that can be hazardous to pedestrians. A portion of this part of Forest Avenue is classified by the MaineDOT as a High Crash Location, with a Critical Rate Factor of 2.18. In the past ten years, eight pedestrians were struck and injured along this section of Forest Avenue. As such, this corridor is classified as a Critical Safety Corridor in GPCOG’s Vision Zero mapping. This project will upgrade all of the sidewalk that is not ADA compliant and in poor condition, the pedestrian ramps as well as improve 2 mid-block crossings along this corridor. Currently there are long stretches of sidewalk in this location that are in very poor condition, most notably the sections of sidewalk adjacent to several businesses. Page 342  PACTS 2026 Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) Project Application Project Significance Why is this project significant for your community? What solutions does this project aim to achieve? Please explain. As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal it is paramount to keep the pedestrian facilities safe and accessible for everybody. This project directly abuts several local businesses, a 216-unit independent senior living residence and other single-family homes. This project aims to achieve a safe accessible multimodal corridor for pedestrians and transit users of all ability levels.

This Master Lease is not a commitment by Lessor to enter into any Schedule and nothing in this Master Lease shall impose, or be construed to impose, any obligation upon Lessor to enter into any proposed Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Master Lease and a Schedule, the provisions of such Schedule will control. Lessee and Lessor agree, for good and valuable consideration and intending to be legally bound, as follows: 1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. The following capitalized terms used herein will be defined as follows: “Equipment” means the equipment and other property described on the applicable Schedule, as well as any attachments, accessories, accessions, replacements, replacement parts, substitutions, additions, upgrades, exchanges and repairs to the equipment and other property and shall also be deemed to include any embedded software that otherwise falls within the definition of “Goods” under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment means an amount estimated by us that may reasonably be expected for an installed and in-use property in an equitable exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, both aware of all relevant facts, and assuming the Equipment is in the condition required by the applicable Lease. “Lessee” means the party or parties who sign this Master Lease as Lessee. Each party that signs below as Lessee agrees that its liability in connection with the Master Lease (and any Schedules hereunder) shall be joint and several. The Lessee may be referred to herein as “you” and “your”. “Lessor” means the party signing as Lessor on this Master Lease and applicable Schedule or any of its affiliates signing as Lessor on the applicable Schedule, and may be referred to herein as “we”, “us”, and “our”. “Person” means any individual, corporation, business trust, association, company, partnership, joint venture, or other entity. “QFC Obligations” means obligations arising under a securities contract, commodities contract, forward contract, repurchase agreement, swap agreement, or any similar agreement (as defined for purposes of Treasury Part 148 under 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D) or FDIC Part 371 under 12 U.S.C. 1821(e)(8)(D)) that the FDIC determines by regulation, resolution, or order to be a qualified financial contract. “Schedule” means any schedule signed by Lessee and Lessor that incorporates the terms of this Master Lease, each of which will constitute a separate contract between Lessee and Lessor and shall be referred to as a “Lease”. “Stipulated Loss Value” means the sum of: (i) all past due and current Payments; (ii) the present value of (A) all remaining Payments, and (B) the amount of the purchase option price or final purchase payment set forth in the applicable Schedule, or if no purchase option price or final purchase payment is specified or if the purchase option price is Fair Market Value, then the anticipated end of Term Fair Market Value of the affected item(s) of Equipment, discounted at 2% per annum; and (iii) all other amounts due under the Lease. 2. COMMENCEMENT. The commencement of a Lease (the “Commencement Date”) will be the date that you satisfy all pre-conditions to the Lease, as determined by us, or any later date that we designate. Without limiting the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, require that you verify your acceptance of the Equipment either by telephone or by delivery to us of an executed certificate of acceptance. If you signed a purchase order or similar agreement for the purchase of the Equipment, by signing a Schedule you assign to us all of your rights, but none of your obligations under it. If, for any reason: (i) the manufacturer, supplier, wholesaler, or other vendor of the Equipment (any, a “Supplier”) fails to deliver, or delays the delivery of, the Equipment; or (ii) the Equipment is unsatisfactory upon delivery or at any time thereafter, you agree that we are not liable, and you will not make any claim against us for damages or for specific performance of such Lease. If the Equipment includes any non-embedded software: (i) we do not own the software and do not provide any software licenses, (ii) you are responsible for obtaining any software license related to any software that is part of or used in connection with the Equipment from the owners or licensors of such software, (iii) you shall comply with the terms of all such licenses if any, and (iv) any default by you under any such software licenses shall also constitute a default by you under all Leases. 3. LEASE PAYMENTS. You agree to remit all payments under each Lease (“Payments”) in U.S. dollars to the address or account designated by us from time to time. Unless indicated otherwise in the Schedule, your Payments are due in arrears and your first payment date will be one month from the Commencement Date, and subsequent payments shall be due on that same day of each month thereafter, unless such day does not exist for the applicable month, in which case it will be the last day of such month (the “Payment Date”). If you request that your Payment Date start later than one month after the Commencement Date, if we approve such a request, we may increase your first Payment by 1/30th of the scheduled Payment for each day between the originally scheduled Payment Date and the re-scheduled Payment Date (the “Additional Days”) and the term of the Schedule will be extended by a number of days equal to the Additional Days. If there are changes in the type or amount or cost of the Equipment or the calculation of related sales or other taxes, you authorize us to adjust the Payments to maintain our after tax economic yield and cash flow so long as the change is not more than 15% of the original Payment amount. We may apply all your payments under a Lease to delinquency charges, Payments, and any other liabilities due and owing under such Lease or under any other agreement, in any order and manner selected by us. You waive all rights to direct the application of payments made on account of any Lease. We may offset and deduct any of your liabilities or obligations to us from any sums we owe to you. The financial terms of any Lease may have been determined taking into account fees we have paid to, or rebates, discounts, subsidies or other compensation or financial benefits (including the ability to fund over time amounts that may be financed hereunder) we have received from, the Supplier, a broker, or other third party in connection with such Lease. Payments are due on each Payment Date whether or not you receive an invoice. 4. TAXES. You agree to pay, and indemnify and hold us harmless from all sales, use, rental, property, excise, gross receipts, withholding and other taxes, charges and fees upon or with respect to the Equipment or the possession, ownership, leasing, use or operation, control or maintenance thereof and relating to such Lease (or any Payments or other payments), assessed by any governmental entity or taxing authority arising during or with respect to any part of the term, whether due before or after the end of the term shown on the corresponding Schedule. In connection with the expiration or earlier termination of a Lease, you agree to pay us any taxes accrued or assessed but not yet due and payable, or our estimate of such amounts. 5. LATE CHARGES. For any payment which is not received within 10 days of its due date, you agree to pay us a late charge equal to the greater of 5% of the amount due or $35.00 (but in either case, not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law). 6. OWNERSHIP, SECURITY INTEREST, USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Schedule, we own the Equipment, excluding any non-embedded software. If the Lease is a secured transaction, you grant us a security interest in the Equipment and all proceeds thereof to secure all of your obligations now or hereafter owing to us (except QFC Obligations). In no event shall your obligations under a Lease be secured by any improved real property, building or mobile home insurable under the National Flood Insurance Program unless the document granting an interest in real property specifically references the Lease by date, its Schedule number and/or this Master Lease number.
