CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Engineering Department
Beginning at the intersection of the southeasterly sight -of -way
line of Main Street and the southwesterly line of West Market
Square, as originally laid out and accepted as a public way
known as West Market Place on June 6, 1835, and recorded in
City of Bangor Read Book Volume 1, Page 32, the coordinates
of said point of beginning being North 352834.84, East
429433.68, Main Street Coordinate System, Bast Zone; thence
South 541 12' 00" East along the southwesterly line of said
West Market Place as originally laid out for a distance of
81.32 feet to a point; thence along a curve to the right having
a radius of 61.06 feet for a distance of 70.87 feet to a point,
said point being at the northwesterly terminus of a public way
known as Merchants Plaza; thence North 590 52' 02" East along
the northerly line of said Merchants Plaza for a distance of
67.75 feet to a point, being at the northeasterly terminus of
said Merchants Plaza; thence North 660 08' 20" East on a
line parallel to, and 25 feet southeast from the southeasterly
line of Bangor Alley as laid out and accepted as a public way
on September 10, 1962 and described in City Of Bangor Road
Book Volume 4, Page 334, for a distance of 144.68 feet to a
point; thence South 57" 20' 16" Bast for a distance of 15.28
feet to the westerly line of Kenduskeag Plaza; thence North
12" 26. 40" West along said westerly line of Kenduskeag
Plaza for a distance of 48.15 feet to a point; thence con-
tinuing along said line of Kenduskeag Plaza North 151 11' 30"
West for a distance of 5.62 feet to the easterly line of
Bangor Alley as originally laid out; thence South 681 8' 201-
West
0"West along said northerly line of Bangor Alley for a distance
of 159.19 feet to the easterly line of West Market Place as
originally laid out: thence North 240 02' 32" West along said
easterly line of west Market Place for a distance of 201.52
feet to a point, said point being on a northeasterly projec-
tion of the southeasterly right-of-way line of Main Street;
thence South 201 18' 32" West along said southeasterly line
of Main Street for a distance of 155.96 feet to the point
of beginning. The above described area consists of a portion
of the former public way known as West Market Place, the
public way known as Bangor Alley, and a strip of land ob-
tained by the Bangor Urban Renewal Authority from Samuel
and Pauline Rudman by a deed dated May 20, 1966 and re-
corded in Penobscot Registry of Deeds in Volume 2053, Page
314.

There is no appreciable change in the grade of the new
combined right-of-way, which conforms very closely to the
former grade of Bangor Alley and West market Place extending
to Main Street.
No person or persons appeared at the time and place set
for the hearing. No damages are recommended, since there is
no sight -of -way acquisition except for the strip of land
adjacent to the former Bangor Alley to be conveyed to the
City by Bangor Urban Renewal Authority; there is no appre-
ciable change in grade, and the a s beingaused for the
same Purposes as originally laid. out.
The City recommends that the entire area described be
named and known as West market Square. As mentioned above,
the portion extending to the southwest from main Street
was originally laid out as West'market Place, sometimes
called West market Square, and is contiguous to the former
fifteen foot wide right-of-way known as Bangor Alley, which
has been widened to forty feet. Since the area is occupied
by a two-way roadway between Main Street and Kenduakeag
Plaza, it isfelt that it should be identified by one name
only, and since
most of the area has been identified as
West Mrket Place or West Market Square for a period of
140 years, it is felt that it should continue to be known
as West market Square and should be continued as a public
way under that name.
A Plan showing the proposed alterations to the laying
out entitled "West market Square Kenduskeag Plaza Line -
Plan No. UR 802 P-27, dated March 25th, 1974 is on file
in the office of the City Engineer.
Respectfully submitted,
