<br /> property. I called the Orono Police Department immediately to make a report. I did not get a license
<br /> plate as this would have been difficult without a confrontation. Please note that this was at 8:30 in the
<br /> morning and the school bus stop is just below the arrow on the map.
<br /> Baldur Park Road, as seen below, is a narrow road which narrows to around 10-12' by the time you
<br /> reach the end of the road.

<br /> I find it hard to imagine a less desirable
<br /> location for a marina and ask that you do everything necessary,for the safety of those who live on or
<br /> near Baldur Park Road,to prevent this ill-planned marina from continuing to do business on Baldur Park
<br /> Road.
