Morgan, P.E., Director of Public Services SUBJECT: Amending Chapter 291, Article III of the Code of the City of Bangor-Parking Prohibited and for Persons with Disabilities-York Street DATE: June 5, 2012 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently the Director of Public Services was contacted by Congregation Beth Israel requesting a handicapped parking space in front of their synagogue. In order to assist with this request a change to the Parking Ordinance will be needed first. The current Ordinance prohibits parking on York Street on Saturdays, between Essex Street and Adams Street. Members attending the two synagogues on York Street often park vehicles on that street on Saturdays. Authorities have not enforced the ban. Amendment of the Ordinance would remove the Saturday parking ban and allow for one handicapped parking space in front of Congregation Beth Israel. The amendment of Chapter 291, Schedule I would remove the following: "commencing at the easterly curbline of Essex Street extending to the westerly curbline of Adams Street on the northerly side of said street on Saturday only as defined by signs." Under Chapter 291, Schedule VI allowance would be made for the limited parking of a handicapped space: "Commencing 109 feet west of the northwest corner of York Street and Adams Street, extending 22 feet westerly along the north side of York Street, one space as defined by sign." Staff recommends the amendment of the York Street parking ban on Saturdays and to allow one handicapped space in front of the synagogue. ABM
