CAPE ELIZABETH — Tour buses and trolleys will be charged fees to enter Fort Williams Park next year.
The Town Council voted 5-2 Monday to start charging a $40 entrance fee for tour buses and an annual $1,500 fee for trolleys to take visitors through the 90-acre park, which is home to historic Portland Head Light.
Estimates indicate the fees could annually generate about $36,000, which would be used for park maintenance.
Councilors David Sherman and Anne Swift-Kayatta voted against charging fees.
Also on Monday, the council voted unanimously to ban sales and use of fireworks in Cape Elizabeth.
A new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, legalizes sales, use and possession of fireworks in Maine, but allows towns and cities to impose their own restrictions.
