Item No. 14-138
Date: April 14, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Schedule I of Chapter 291, Article III, Sec. 38 of the
Code of the City of Bangor - No Parking - 645 Hammond St
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary: This Ordinance would create a No Parking zone 20 feet in length just before
the driveway of 645 Hammond Street. Marie Lyons, who resides at 645 Hammond Street, has
requested that a No Parking sign be placed in front of her property. A combination of factors,
including the speed of passing vehicles, the mix of residential and commercial uses, the number
and position of cars typically parked during the day along Hammond Street, and the resulting
poor visibility make it unusually difficult for her and her husband to safely exit their driveway.
Placing a No Parking sign 20 feet before her driveway would allow for additional visibility. Other
methods for resolving this safety concern, including talking to neighbors, have not met with any
success.
This item was initially reviewed at the Government Operations Committee meeting on April 7,
2014.
