Good morning, Bangor.

Bangor Beautiful has started a project on the fence in front of Maine Savings Amphitheater where a 760-foot mural series will be completed in three stages — the project will add native plants and solar lights and is seeking more sponsors to support local art.

The Maine House defeated a measure Tuesday to study expanding passenger rail from Portland to Orono (via Auburn, Lewiston, Waterville and Bangor) as lawmakers cited high costs and opted for improved bus service instead.

Supporters warned that federal funding may soon be unavailable and pointed to record ridership on Amtrak’s Downeaster.

Phone and internet access were intermittently unavailable at St. Joseph Hospital in Bangor Tuesday morning caused by a temporary system issue—hospital staff are working to restore full services.

Acadia National Park’s Beehive Trail was crowded over Memorial Day weekend as many hikers lined up to enjoy views of Sand Beach and the ocean.

The trail — which rises to 520 feet and covers less than 2 miles — is known for its iron rungs and switchbacks.

UMaine soccer star Abby Kraemer, a two time All-American striker, is one of three finalists for the America East Woman of the Year award based on her athletic, academic and community service record.
