Item / Subject: Amending Schedule VI of Chapter 291, Article DL of the Code of the
City of Bangor- Parking Limited to Parking for DV s icappe i -French St.
Responsible Department: Pufice Department
Dr. Paul Bigda operates Eastern Maine Podiatry, which has an offrce at 261
French St While the office does have a small parking lot, he is requesting Net a space in
front of 261 French St. be designated as handicap parking. Considering the intense
parking measure put on this street by students of John Bapst High School, Dc. Bigda's
request is not unreasonable. A similar situation las[ year with Dr. Curtis on Somerset St,
resulted in a haMica , space in front of that office. The space he has requested is the first
one north of his once driveway. A notice will be sent to the residents on the block of
French St. affected by this informing them of the request by Dr. Bigda.

RE: Parking
261 French Street
Dear Sgt Hodges,
I am writing to you to request a handicapped parking spot in front of my office at
261 French Street in Bangor. This would be located right in front M Me building.
Unfomaiately, many people do not obey the parking laws on French Street, and this
will provide a parking place for my handicapped patients. Thank you for your help in
this matter.

Dear French St. resident,
Dr. Paul Bigda OfEmboun Maine Podiatry, which is located at 261 French Se, has
requested that a handicap parking space be designated in front of his office. As you are
Probably well aware, the parking situation on your black during the school year can be
somewhat cramped. Dr. Big la has indicated that a number of his patients with either
pecmavent or temporary disabilities often have difficulty finding a spate. Designating this
space would increase the likelihood that these patterns would have aplace to park.
The effect an the neighborhood would be small, since this space is normally Occupied all
day anyway. The catch is that designating a space for handicap parking is not a Monday
through Friday Gam 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM deal. This space would only be avaihable to
autbmized vehicles (those displaying handicap home plates or a handicap placard in the
window) all day every day.
The Bangor City Councils Govemmern Opemfions Committee will be reviewing Dr.
Bigda's request in the near future. If you would like an Opportunity to address the
committee concerning this, please contact the Parking Division 9 947-7387. I will keep
Yom name, address and telephone number an file and contact you with the date and time
of the meeting. You may also mail written commands to either myself, City Manager
Barrett Of W the chairperson of the Government operations Committee.
If you have any quesficns, please feel free to contact me. In addition, I am sure that Dr.
Bigda would be happy to discuss his request personally.
Sincerely,
41
Sgt. Jim Hodges
