ITEM#1 -Referral of Ordinance 97-368, Amending Chapter III,Article 6, Schedule I of the
Laws and Ordinances of the City of Bangor-Parking Prohibited at All Times -
Blackstone Street
The width of this street does not conform to minimum standards for parking on both sides
but as the traffic flow is light,the Police Department has indicated that parking could be allowed
on one side. They suggested that one side only parking be e�ended commencing at the
intersection with Leighton and Norfolk Streets on the southerly side of said street as defined by
signs.
After much discussion Committee suggested that the one side parking be kept on the
same side for the entire block of Blackstone. A motion was then made and seconded to have the
Parking Supervisor review the Committee's suggestion and report back to Committee with his
findings. So voted.
