Biddeford Hearing Draws 60 Opponents Over Etherington Pond Parking
A state hearing in Biddeford drew more than 60 opponents to a proposal to create a public parking area near Etherington Pond on Fortunes Rocks Road.

A city plan includes gates and curbing to limit access, with a decision due within two weeks as more materials are reviewed.
