Item No. -16-043
Date: December 14, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Schedule XVI of Chapter 291, Article II, Sec. 28 of
the Code of the City of Bangor - One -Way Streets – Union Street under the
Chamberlain Bridge
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
The Police Department has requested that the portion of Union Street under the Joshua
Lawrence Chamberlain Bridge be designated as a one-way street from Broad Street to
Independent Street.
The portion of Union Street under the Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Bridge is presently marked
as one-way to where it intersects with Independent Street. It has not, however, ever been
officially designated as one-way. Given the narrowness and low visibility of this portion of Union
Street, two-way traffic is potentially dangerous. This ordinance change would bring the Code
into line with current practice of treating this street section as one-way.
