Here’s Where You CAN Park During Tonight’s Parking Ban In Bangor

The snow has started to fall in Bangor, and with the already crusty inches of accumulation from the last storm we had, combined with the past few days of melting, the folks at Bangor Public Works are going to have their hands full trying to make space for people to park.

As such, City Officials have issued a City-Wide parking ban for Thursday from 11 PM to 6 AM Friday.

A City-Wide ban differs from a Downtown Parking ban in that it means it's not just folks in the downtown Bangor area who will have to find a place to park overnight, but all Bangor residents will have to find "off-street parking."

According to the City's website, the bans are declared so Bangor Public Works crews can get around town to clear the snow away from the streets and sidewalks, making room for folks to walk, drive, and park.

However, Bangor has designated spots in lots around the city where you CAN park during City-Wide bans between 5 PM and 7 AM.

"Cameron Stadium (Mt. Hope parking lot)
Columbia Street Parking Deck (lower deck only)
Cross Insurance Center (section of Lot C only)
Essex Street Dog Park
Gateway Park
Hayford Park
Pickering Square Parking Garage (back section of lower deck only)
Union Street Recreation Center
Upper Abbott Parking Lot (back section only, 6 p.m. – 6 a.m., due to metered parking schedule)."

The seasonal parking regulations in Bangor are put into place at the end of November and typically run through March 31st, so they'll only be in effect for another month.
