Item No. 14-330
Date: October 27, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Schedule I of Chapter 291, Article III, Sec. 38 of the
Code of the City of Bangor - No Parking - 375 Mt Hope Avenue
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary:
If approved, this Ordinance would create a No Parking zone 60 feet in length between the two
driveways of 375 Mount Hope Avenue. Bud Butterfield, who is a representative of Pilgrim
Orthodox Presbyterian Church at 375 Mt. Hope Avenue, has requested that no parking signs be
placed between the two driveways of the church property. Placing a no parking sign between
the driveways would allow for additional visibility. Repeated requests to his congregation have
been unsuccessful in deterring parking at this location.
This item was initially reviewed at the Government Operations Committee meeting on October
20, 2014.

Avenue between the driveways of said property would increase visibility and safety;
WHEREAS, other potential means for dealing with this problem have been tried and have proven
