If approved, this order will change the timed spaces on Court Street from 2-hour to 4-hour parking. Penobscot County, with offices and facilities located at 97 Hammond Street, has expressed interest in changing the parking on Court St. from 2-hour parking to 4-hour parking. This would allow increased time for meetings and for people that visit and/or utilize services at the County offices. This change would mirror other areas in the Downtown Parking Management District that have 4-hour parking spaces, which tend to be on peripheral areas of the district. Additionally, usage of on-street parking in this area is low, as demonstrated by data collected through LPR enforcement, so increasing the time may help improve utilization. The item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee on January 14, 2020, and the Business and Economic Development Committee on January 21, 2020.
