Date: November 13, 2013
Item/Subject: ORDER, Changing the Name of Dutton Street on the Northerly Side of Main
Street to Bass Park Boulevard and Adding it to the Official City Map
Responsible Department:
Commentary:
This Order will rename the portion of Dutton Street on the northerly side of Main Street to Bass
Park Boulevard, and change the street name on the Official City Map. Over the past few years,
Bass Park has undergone significant improvements, including development of the Cross
Insurance Center and now an agreement for a quality hotel. Section 271-5 of the Code of the
City of Bangor provides that the City Council may, by Order, change the name of City streets.
Changing the name of the street is proposed as a means of providing greater recognition of Bass
Park and honoring the gift of that land that made these improvements possible. This item was
reviewed and recommended for approval at a Council Workshop on November 13, 2013
