Title, Order
Amending the Parking Map of the City of Bangor to Change the Identified Timed Spaces on Court Street from
2-hour Parking to 4-hour Parking
This order amends the "Parking Map of the City of Bangor" as identified in Chapter 291, Article III
section 291-37. 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.
