Item No I, i_ 2D
Date: June 22, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Map Entitled "Downtown Parking Management
District" by Creating Three 15 Minute Parking Spaces
Responsible Department: Community and Economic Development
Commentary:
This ordinance amendment would designate three downtown parking spaces as 15 minute
parking spaces, one on Broad Street, across from the top of Bangor Alley; one on Central Street,
near Epic Sports; and one on Columbia Street, across the street from the Columbia Street Baptist
Church. These parking spaces will allow downtown businesses and residents to load and unload
more easily, and be available to all downtown businesses and residents, not just those with
commercial vehicles. The parking spaces are also intended to reduce the incidence of illegal
parking during loading and unloading, including parking on sidewalks.
Staff recommends waiving second reading, given the urgency of the need for these parking
spaces and the desire to prevent further damage to City sidewalks.
