Downtown Corridor Streetscape Redesign

Bar Harbor, Maine is a prominent town on Mount Desert Island and neighbor to Acadia National Park. With more than 2.5 million annual visitors, and over 100 cruise ships carrying 160,000 passengers to Bar Harbor annually, Cottage Street in Bar Harbor hosts an immense quantity of foot and vehicular traffic.

LARK Studio was commissioned in fall of 2016 by the Town of Bar Harbor to redesign the streetscape. Balancing the crucial need for parking, sidewalks, crosswalks and the lack of street trees, lighting and street furniture, LARK Studio is working with town and business stakeholders to help incorporate their desires into the streetscape. The project is in conjunction with Kalback Design (Renderings by Andy Kalback).
