A 296
Item No.
Date: September 14, 2009
Item/Subject: Ordinance, Amending Schedule IV of Chapter 291, Article III, Sec. 39 of
the Code of the City of Bangor — Parking Prohibited Except for Limited
Times — Broadway
Responsible Department: Police Department
Commentary:
The parking spaces on the eastern side of the northbound lanes of Broadway between
State Street and Penobscot Street are currently marked as one hour parking spaces. This
was done to provide parking for area business, primarily doctors' offices. A one hour time
limit is often too short for an appointment with a doctor. As a result, it has been
suggested that we change the time limit for these spaces to two hours.
The Government Operations Committee recommends adoption of this Ordinance, and
further recommends that first reading be waived in order to accommodate the parking
needs of current and potential tenants at 55 Broadway. To do so requires a 2/3rds vote
of the members of the Council.
