There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting
Rabbi Heney Isaacs, representing Bangor Mikveh Association
Mr. Sidney Epstein, Attorney Paul Rudman representing Mr. ipstein,
and Mr. Peter Downey, a resident of 252 Center Street. Those
present were advised of the direction given to the City Engineer
to alter the right-of-way by the subject Council Order and advised
those present that the right-of-way alteration is considered
necessary (1) to provide an additional traffic lane between
Broadway and Pine Street, and (2) to provide a smoother and
safer transition between Horth Park Street and Stillwater Avenue.
With regard to the latter, those present were advised that the
City Engineer will recommend that the name of North Park Street
between Broadway and Pine Street be changed to Stillwater Avenue,
so that, in effect, Stillwater Avenue will extend all of the way
to Broadway. Those present were also advised that bids for the
construction of the roadway were scheduled for receipt within a
few days, and that it was imperative that the right-of-way altera-
tion be completed as quickly as possible. Mesa present were
advised that no benefits would be assessed to the property owners
as a result of the reconstruction of the roadway, and they were
also advised as to the recommended damages to be paid for the
land to be acquired, as described above. Rabbi Isaacs was advised
that the existing hedge in front of the bath house on the Sensor
Mikveh Association property would be relocated to the new right-
of-way line. Rabbi Isaacs expressed a concern as to possible
damage to the existing concrete tanksin the bath house as a
result of the construction, and he was advised by the City Engineer
that care would be taken to prevent any undue vibration in the
vicinity of the bath house during construction. Those present
were advised that an appeal would be made to the City Council
Finance Committee if they were dissatisfied with the recommended
damages. However, through subsequent conversations, the recom-
mended damages were accepted by the parties involved.
Mr. Downey expressed a concern as to the possible increase
of traffic on Congress Street as a result of the construction of
the new roadway, and felt that action should be taken to make all
or part of Congress Street one-way. Mr. Downey was advised that
in the opinion of the City Engineer the increase of traffic flow
as a result of the project was not relevant to the proposed altera-
tion in the right-of-way lines, but suggested that any alterations
in the traffic flow should be considered separately by the Planning
Board or the City Council Public Safety Committee.
It is recommended that the right -o£ -way alteration be laid
out as described above, and that the name of the street be changed
to Stillwater Avenue for the entire distance to Broadway, and
that the Official City Map be revised accordingly.

A copy of the right-of-way Plan is on file in the office
of the City Engineer.
Respectfully submitted,
John . Frawley,
CityEngineer
