What do street lights, crosswalks, curbs and public safetyhave to do with artists? Artists usually use constructionpaper, not construction departments.
But in Vermont, an unusual collaboration between a statehighway department and a small bedroom community andits Arts Council will result in the aesthetic relocation of amajor state highway in exactly the way the small town wouldlike to have it done.
More than 10 years in the planning, the Danville Projectof Danville, Vt., will relocate Route 2 through Danville withplans hashed out among state transportation officials, townleaders and state artists. Over the years, Route 2 has beenwidened and improved, but the Danville section has yet to beaddressed.
According to official estimates, this utilitarian work ofconcrete and steel artistry in this tiny town in the northeastcorner of Vermont, near the New Hampshire line, will costapproximately $8 million when finished.
According to Kenneth E.

Anti-Tax Fever Coming Back to Maine Ballots Nov. 3By Glenn AdamsASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Anti-tax fever, which inspiredunsuccessful Maine ballot initiatives in 2004 and 2006, isback again with activists determined to scale back taxes, thistime with a pair of questions for the Nov. 3 ballot.
Question 2 is aimed at automobile excise taxes, which canrun into hundreds dollars, and Question 4 is a now-familiarappeal to further curb spending and taxes by state and localgovernments.
Municipalities and other public institutions that depend onthose taxes are urging voters to leave the status quo and votedown the questions that were written by the conservativeMaine Heritage Policy Center.
Promises of lower taxes appeal to voters like Tim Poitrasof Caribou, but the broader impact leaves him skeptical.
“I personally don’t like paying more taxes,’’ Poitras said.But he’s concerned about the potential loss of local tax rev-enues that would result if Question 2 passes.
“If I had to vote today, I would probably vote against it,’’he said.
Poitras sees some advantages to Question 4 at the statelevel, although he said he’s voted against similar proposals inthe past. He does take issue with spending curbs that wouldapply at the town level, saying they would take away localcontrol.
“Let every town choose on their own,” Poitras said.Question 2 seeks to cut the rate of the municipal excise tax
by an average of 55 percent on motor vehicles less than sixyears old. It would also exempt new or leased hybrid andother alternative-energy and highly fuel-efficient motor vehi-cles from sales tax and three years of excise taxes.
Excise taxes, which must be paid at the time a vehicle isregistered, are highest for new vehicles and diminish as thevehicle gets older. For example, a person registering a three-year-old car valued at $19,500 must pay $263.25 under thepresent formula, according to Maine Revenue Services.
The More Green Now campaign supporting passage saidthe new curbs would save Maine taxpayers $80 million eachyear — a savings for individuals of nearly $1,000 in taxesover the lifetime of a car. It also said the proposal promotescleaner air and greater fuel efficiency. Campaign ChairmanChris Cinquemani explained the campaign’s name.
“If the green that you want is in your pocket, that’s whatyou’ll get,’’ Cinquemani said. “If the green you want iscleaner air and energy efficiency, that’s what you’ll get, too.’’
But the Maine State Chamber of Commerce and otheropponents, under the banner of Citizens Unified for Maine’sFuture, said Maine’s towns need that $80 million to plow,build, repair and maintain more than 13,000 miles of localroads and 800 bridges. Municipalities can apply excise taxesthey collect to the town budget, and typically, the revenue isspent on local road maintenance, construction and repair.
The proposed excise tax cut comes as many municipali-ties find themselves cash-strapped and forced to make budg-et cuts. The small city of Gardiner said it would lose$250,000 next year if the question is approved. Gardiner,
population 6,200, and other municipalities have passed reso-lutions opposing the referendum.
Opponents also said passage would result in a tax shift.Owners of new cars would enjoy tax breaks, but the savingswould be made up by higher property taxes and poorer con-dition of local roads.
Question 2’s opponents even trotted out credentialed taxfoes like Republican state Sen. David Trahan of Waldoboro,who said it “will trash local government needs. We need toreform the excise tax, but I have serious concerns about thisproposal.’’
Question 4 seeks to change the formulas that limit stateand local government spending by holding state spending tothe rate of inflation plus population growth. The Legislatureand voters would have to approve any spending over statelimits or increases in state taxes and local voters would haveto approve any spending above municipal and county limits.
The referendum proposal is widely known as TABOR II,after a similar Taxpayer Bill of Rights proposal that votersrejected 54 to 46 percent in 2006. Two years earlier, Mainersturned down by a roughly 2-to-1 margin a proposal to limit-ed property taxes to 1 percent of assessed value.
Average savings expected through TABOR II haven’tbeen calculated by proponents, but they say taxpayers wouldcertainly wipe out “invisible’’ tax increases resulting frominflation.
The TABOR Now committee said spending and tax con-trols are needed to improve Maine’s ability to attract new
jobs and increase personal wealth.Supporters of the latest proposal saidthat, despite a 45 percent increase instate spending since fiscal 2000.
The Heritage Policy Center’s SteveBowen dismissed doomsday predic-tions by opponents, and noted thatTABOR II does not cut a single gov-ernment program or cut any tax. All itdoes is give taxpayers more power onspending and tax issues, he said.
Opponents contend that TABOR IIwould establish rigid, one-size-fits-allspending limitations on state, countyand local governments. They said thelimits would result in the underfund-ing of secondary and higher education,health care, emergency and transporta-tion services, and infrastructurerepairs.
Citizens Unified for Maine’sFuture, which opposes TABOR II,said it’s a disguised rehash of the pro-posal of two years ago that’s pushedby out-of-state interests.
“Maine voters have repeatedlyrejected this bad idea at the polls,’’saidcampaign Communications DirectorCrystal Canney. “What is it aboutdemocracy that these groups don’tunderstand?’’

for ways to reduce cost. This effortresulted in some changes to theproject, which then had to be incor-porated into the plans and reflectedin the ROW plans. The acquisitionphase is also very unpredictable, asit is fully dependent on the level ofcooperation of the affected proper-ty owners. Another area thatrequired significant coordinationwas utility relocation, which is stillin process,” he added.
Stantec, formerly Dufresne-Henry, is the design consultant.
Robie anticipated that the workwill be phased to maintain trafficwithin the ROW.
“How exactly that will be donewill be determined by the contrac-tor,” he said, after a biddingprocess, which he estimated shouldbe very competitive.
Beyond the standard regulatoryconcerns — storm water drainage,historic resources and/or archaeol-ogy — Robie doesn’t anticipateany major problems, once ROW isgranted. Robie has been involvedin the project since 2006. Previousto his arrival in the 10-year plan-ning process, two other VTransproject managers were involved,working closely with the town ofDanville, the Vermont ArtsCouncil (VAC) and a local reviewcommittee, proposing, thenapproving, various plans.
While Robie couldn’t speakabout the cooperative process fromthe beginning, he did add, that,“Since I’ve been involved, I wouldsay there hasn’t been an inordinateamount of coordination, as it iscommon practice for VTrans towork closely with the communitiesthrough which our projects pass.We have in the past worked withcommunities on downtown proj-ects that involve a state or federalroute. The unusual aspect of thiscoordination process has been theinvolvement of the VAC.”
Twenty-Six Years of Discussion
Michelle Bailey of the VAC saidthe project was first conceived in1999 when the Council hosted astatewide arts conference focusingon the arts at the forefront of com-munity development.
“At the conference, the deputysecretary of the agency of trans-portation, Micque Glitman, partic-
ipated in a panel discussion about‘Collaborations and Resources forthe Future.’ After the conference,Alex Aldrich, executive director ofthe Vermont Arts Council, andSecretary Glitman had further con-versations about the role that thearts might play in Danville, regard-ing the reconstruction of Route 2through the village,” said Bailey.
“At the time, the town ofDanville and the agency of trans-portation had been struggling for26 years with how to make theproject happen — specifically indeveloping a plan that would meetthe needs of both the town and theagency of transportation. Route 2is a major east/west federal high-way with large trucks comingthrough the center of this smalltown with a population [of] under3,000.”
Call to ArtistsThis project officially began in
2000 with the development of theofficial partnership between theagency of transportation, the VACand the town of Danville.
“A ‘call to artists’ was distrib-uted nationally and two Vermontartists were selected. We wentthrough a series of communitymeetings and design work in part-nership with the community. Thefinal designs were approved by thetown and VTrans in 2002,” saidBailey. The funding comes fromthe federal highway funds and theState of Vermont.
“In addition, Sen. Patrick Leahywas so impressed with the commu-nity process, that he was able toearmark $7 million in funds to sup-port this project specifically.Highway projects are able to spenda percentage of their monies oncommunity enhancements,” addedBailey.
Leahy has been a strong andinstrumental supporter of theDanville Project since its incep-tion. Through his leadership role inthe U.S. Senate, this nationally rec-ognized project has been lauded asa model of Context SensitiveDesign, and has received two fed-eral appropriations, the first in2004 for nearly $2 million, and thesecond in 2005 for $5 million.
While communities and DOTshave worked together before andthere have been public art projectsand community/DOT projects
nationwide for many years, Baileyadded that, “What is interestingand unique about this project is notso much the enhancements thatwill result from this partnership,but rather the process that theagency and the town went throughto resolve their differences andcome to consensus on a project in avery small, rural community,” shesaid.
“This collaboration is some-thing neither VTrans nor the artscouncil had done before. For us, itwas unique and it will, we expect,serve as a useful model for ‘con-text sensitive design’work in manyother small, rural communities forthe future.”
The art council’s hope, sheadded, is not only having artistsinvolved in the planning and toengage the community in theprocess to help them reflect uponwhat they value about their com-munity, but “to have those ideasand values reflected in the artisticenhancements for future genera-tions that will live on in Danvillefor the greater community toenjoy.”
Among the “artistic” elementsto be added to the planning are spe-
cial lighting on historic and ener-gy-efficient lampposts, gateways, abandstand, special granite postsand special lighting.
Other goals include:• Expanding the public dialogue
about art, aesthetics and communi-ty to better understand the creativeand artistic process;
• Supporting opportunities forartists to make and present theirwork for the public benefit;
• Exposing all the partners, con-stituents and stakeholders to aninflux of new ideas;
• Maintaining consistentlyexcellent lines of communicationbetween artists and communities;
• Increasing local and regionalopportunities for expandingtourism and cultural heritage;
• Demonstrating that it is possi-ble, practical and cost-effective tocreate beautiful, safe and produc-tive work for the public benefit.
“The state has been very cooper-ative,” said Bailey. “None of us hasdone a project like this before; so,it is all a bit exploratory/experi-mental. What makes this trulyremarkable is engaging the com-munity in a dialogue in a different
way; asking them, ‘what do theyvalue,’ ‘what is special about theirplace.’ This was a differentapproach that the artists took fromthe beginning, rather than askingthem what they specific questionsabout the road.”
While Bailey and the councilsaid they are “very satisfied” withhow the process has gone, they arefrustrated because, even though theenhancement designs wereapproved years ago, and moneyappropriated, the project has stillyet to break ground.
So, can artists and highwaymenreally get along?
“Sure!” assured Bailey. “We’reall working toward the same goals.Sometimes we have to overcomelanguage barriers and anytime youengage in a partnership, it meanssome additional work to be surewe all understand one another. But,overall, we all want a successfuloutcome — and our goals can beachieved together.”

BOSTON (AP) The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority iscoming to the end of the road.
The much-reviled state agency is being eliminated onNov. 1.
Its operations will be shifted over to a new highwaydepartment under a new Massachusetts Department ofTransportation.
It will be overseen by the state’s new transportation secre-tary, Jeffrey Mullan, and a new board of directors that alsooversees an array of other state transportation services.
Commuters have long complained that the Pike and itstolls have outlived the original bonds that built the east-westroad from Stockbridge to Boston. The tolls will remain, butthe agency itself will be gone at the end of the month.

N.H.’s Famous Foliage Route Celebrates 50th Birthday By Holly RamerASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
ALBANY, New Hampshire(AP) New Hampshire’s famedfoliage route, the KancamagusHighway, is celebrating its 50thbirthday, so it’s about time every-one learned how to pronounce itcorrectly.
Everyone else: Pretend you’re alocal and call it “The Kanc.’’
Whatever you do, don’t put anextra ‘n’ in there, as in Kanca-mangus. The highway is namedafter an American Indian chiefwhose name means “The One.’’As in, just one “n”.
With that out of the way, peoplecan enjoy the 34.5-mi. (55.5-km)road that winds through the WhiteMountains between the towns ofLincoln and Conway and the stun-ning scenery that once was knownonly to loggers, forest rangers,homesteaders and the hardiest ofhikers.
Construction on the two-lane
highway began from both ends inthe 1930s and, after being haltedby World War II in the 1940s, con-tinued until 1956 when there wasjust a 1 mi. (1.6 km) gap betweenthe two roads. Crews saved themost difficult stretch for last, how-ever, and it took another threeyears to finish the job.
The road opened some time inthe summer of 1959 without fan-fare, but it didn’t take long for it toattract visitors, particularly duringthe fall.
“It was something an awful lotof people had wanted for yearsand years and years. Even thoughthere was no public announce-ment, word spread by word ofmouth,’’ said Dick Hamilton, whospent more than three decades pro-moting tourist spots in the area aspresident of White MountainAttractions. “That fall was reallythe kickoff of it becoming the bestfall foliage route in NewEngland.’’
Hamilton, who was working ata hotel in North Conway at thetime, remembers being so eagerfor the road to open that he tried todrive its length before it was fin-
ished, only to be stopped by a lineof boulders across the road.Initially, the road was open onlyduring the day, from spring to thefirst snow. Year-round openingcoincided with the development ofthe Loon Mountain ski area inLincoln in 1968.
Norman Stevens, worked onthree sections of the road, startingin 1949. He lives in York, Maine,but has returned to the highwayover the years with his wife, Jean.
“It’s a beautiful place with allthe foliage and all the spots alongto see it. I enjoy probably morethan a lot of people because there’sso many things that I recognizeand are familiar to me,’’ he said.
Jean Stevens recalled the threesummers she and the couple’schildren spent in the area while herhusband worked on the road.
“It’s God’s country, really,’’ shesaid. “When we came up here andstayed for the kids’vacation, it wasjust magic for all of us.’’
Today, the traffic often isbumper-to-bumper during autumnweekends, with an estimated 1million visitors a year passingthrough.
Hamilton admitted that the traf-fic approaches “impossible’’ lev-els, but said it largely regulatesitself as drivers pull over to snappictures.
“And they go slow enoughbecause the scenery is so gor-geous, you don’t want to gofaster,’’ he said.
Though there are several skiareas close to the Kanc, along witha number of hotels and family-friendly attractions at either end,there’s no development along thehighway. The Kanc itself is allabout the region’s natural beauty:Numerous signs remind driversthat there are no gas stations alongthe route and call attention to hik-ing trails, campgrounds and scenicoverlooks.
Waterfalls include RockyGorge, Sabbaday Falls and LowerFalls. Swimming is prohibited atthe first two, but the third is a pop-ular swimming spot in the summerand has picnic tables, parking andrestrooms.
Though the views are lovelyyear-round, autumn brings out thebest along the Kanc, and NewHampshire takes its fall foliage
seriously. The state Division ofTravel and Tourism issues “leafpeeper’’ reports along with textmessage alerts, and will be usingTwitter and Facebook to postfoliage updates and pictures.
Karen Bennett, a forestry spe-cialist with the University of NewHampshire CooperativeExtension, said the early sum-mer’s heavy rain is good news forfoliage fans.
“Trees need water and they dovery well with a lot of rain. So it’sall good as far as I’m concerned,’’she said.
What makes the Kanc’s colorsso memorable? Maples, Bennettsaid.
“All our hardwoods turn a pret-ty color, but it’s probably themaples that give it that kiss ofbrightness. They bring in the redsand the brighter oranges,’’ shesaid.
For Hamilton, the magic ofdriving the Kanc never wears off.
“I have to do it at least 10 timesa year. All seasons,’’ he said. “Itjust takes my breath away, everytime I do it. I see something newevery time.’’
