PORTSMOUTH – A long-debated, 152-unit residential development along the North Mill Pond, is moving forward after receiving key approvals from the Planning Board late Thursday night.
As part of the development, called Residences at Islington Creek, developers are creating a ½-acre public park along the North Mill Pond and donating rights to the city for about ¾ of a mile of the long-planned North Mill Pond Trail and Greenway, a public multi-use path that will connect Market and Bartlett streets.
The development at 105 Bartlett St., once was proposed to include 272 apartments before developers scaled back the project, which has been under discussion or review since 2018.
The city has been able to assemble the land needed for the path largely through land donations from developers with projects along the North Mill Pond.

The Black teenager was shot and killed by police in Northeast Portland on Feb. 9, 2017.
The Portland City Council approved a $1.5 million settlement on Wednesday with the family of Quanice Hayes, a Black teenager killed by police in 2017.
The council approved the settlement unanimously.
Members of Hayes family testified at the March hearing, saying that while they are glad the family is getting a settlement, there should be changes made to police policies and practices. I just want to get my feelings out. We re in this community, I run a business here. I love it here. I still have some problems with this case. You know the financial compensation, that will help my sister dramatically. But I still don t feel that s accountability, Steven Hayes said.
