Quietside towns ask for bus run reconsideration
TREMONT After the announcement in March that Island Explorer buses would not run in Southwest Harbor and Tremont this season, the towns’ chamber of commerce is asking Downeast Transportation to reconsider.
Southwest Harbor and Tremont Chamber of Commerce Vice President Alan Feuer asked the Tremont Board of Selectmen during their meeting Monday for a letter in support of bringing at least one bus run to the backside of the island for the 2021 season.
“This would be a great benefit to this side of the island,” Feuer said to the board.
Limited parking at several of the Acadia National Park sites, including Bass Harbor Head Light, Ship Harbor and Wonderland, is one of the main reasons for the request.
