The state has created RhodeWorks that would use tolls on large commercial trucks and bond sales to finance major highway and bridge projects. The cost of improving highways and bridges is set at $510 million. On Feb. 11, Rhode Island passed RhodeWorks legislation setting the plan in motion. In a release, Peter Alviti Jr., The plan is to repair more than 150 structurally deficient bridges and upgrade Rhode Island Department of another 500 bridges so they don’t become deficient.

Maine Youth Center Plans $1M Ballfield Renovation Into Replica of Wrigley Field WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) Baseball fans in Maine no longer have to travel to Chicago to get a glimpse of the famed Wrigley Field. The Morning Sentinel reports the Waterville City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Alfond Youth Center to partner in renovating Purnell-Wrigley Ballfield into a replica of the Chicago Cubs’ legendary stadium.
Youth Center CEO Karen Walsh has been working with Parks and Recreation director Matt Skehan on the $1 million project for about two years. The multipurpose turf field will feature a public address building, bathrooms, dugouts, lights and access for children with disabilities. Technical school students will build a concession stand.
Councilor Sydney Mayhew said the field will draw people to Waterville and create revenue. Walsh said the goal is to begin construction in June.

Mayor Announces Agreement for Burlington Mall Makeover Miro Weinberger, Mayor of Burlington, Vt., announced and released the draft predevelopment agreement between the city of Burlington and the mall property owner, Don Sinex’s BTC Mall Associates LLC, for the redevelopment of the Burlington Town Center mall. The proposed redevelopment will create and preserve hundreds of downtown jobs, help address the city’s housing challenge by creating at least 270 new homes, of which at least 54 units (20 percent) will be permanently affordable and restore St. Paul and Pine Streets, which are currently blocked by the mall. The restored north-south streets will reconnect the downtown district with Burlington’s Old North End neighborhood, achieving a long-held city goal and healing some of the disruption caused by Urban Renewal. The agreement also commits the property owner to pay construction workers livable wages and to take steps to create construction and permanent job opportunities for local workers. The city will build up to $21.89 million of public infrastructure improvements using future property tax revenue generated by the estimated $200 million of new private investment in the project through tax increment financing (TIF). These new public infrastructure improvements on St. Paul and Pine Streets include the creation of streets, sidewalks, subsurface utilities, and street lighting and will make the project more successful and responsive to the city’s needs. “Over the past 18 months, at the urging of the public and the city, Mr. Sinex has dramatically improved his redevelopment plan. The proposed project now represents a historic opportunity to achieve many of the city’s long-standing planning, housing and economic development goals,” said Mayor Weinberger. “This carefully negotiated agreement is a reflection both of our administration’s focus on protecting the city’s financial standing and our optimism about the city’s potential for creating new opportunities for Burlingtonians of all backgrounds on this important site.” Don Sinex, who purchased the mall site in 2013 and embraced the city's vision for its redevelopment, thanked city government and residents for their engagement and support of this project to date. “I know that the old-style suburban mall

that sits here now is no longer working well for the city. Burlington needs housing; it needs its streets back; it needs places for more jobs, shops, and services that work for residents and visitors alike. Burlington deserves to have this central downtown location serve as a vibrant corridor of activity between Church Street and the waterfront where people can live, work, and play. That’s what I want to deliver,” said Sinex. “I appreciate the process we have participated in to get to this point. We have a substantially better project far more responsive to the city’s needs because of it. I am looking forward to presenting this predevelopment agreement to the City Council and working with them further to make this project a success for Burlington.” The predevelopment agreement is the product of 18 months of public process and diligent, careful project negotiation and reflects the property owner’s willingness to substantially alter the project design based on the public feedback received. The city and property owner are seeking City Council approval of the agreement at the City Council’s May 2, 2016 meeting, following several public presentations to the City Council and executive session discussions at both the City Council and Board of Finance that began in early February of this year. Some issues remain under discussion with the Council and may result in amendments to the current predevelopment agreement prior to the expected City Council vote on May 2, 2016.
