The Franklin Reclamation Authority (FRA) is a citizen-led group committed to a realizing a redesigned Franklin Street that meets the goals of the Portland community.

In 2006, FRA worked to stop the proposed widening of Franklin Street to 8 lanes.

In 2007, FRA led a community-based visioning process to successfully redirect city and state efforts for future transportation planning for Franklin.

From 2008 to 2015, FRA partnered with the City of Portland and Maine DOT to facilitate the public planning process for Phase 1 and 2 of the redesign process.

FRA has continued to build relationships with elected officials and staff at the city, state, and federal level to advocate for the reintegration of Franklin St. into the fabric of the Portland peninsula.
