Second sign, Maine Health pharmacy, 1048 Brighton Avenue
Portland
Description
Maine Health's new community pharmacy can't get a second sign facing Brighton Avenue because the TOD-1 zone allows only one sign per tenant; the board suggested window or directory signs instead.
Impact summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals denied it on May 7, 2026.
The pharmacy may be hard to spot for drivers on Brighton Avenue, raising access concerns for a nonprofit pharmacy serving all patients.
