Selectmen remove 15-minute sign on Lake Street and discuss overnight parking rules at Depot Street
Summary
The board voted to remove a 15-minute parking sign on Lake Street, discussed updating traffic ordinance language about backing and diagonal parking on Main Street, and asked staff to clarify overnight parking rules for Depot Street and town lots.
The Rangeley Board of Selectmen approved removing a 15-minute parking sign on Lake Street and discussed gaps in its traffic ordinance language concerning overnight parking and backing maneuvers on Main Street. A motion to remove the 15-minute parking sign passed unanimously. Selectmen also noted Section 35613's reference to backing up on Main Street no longer applies because diagonal parking had been removed, and they suggested striking obsolete language. A resident and selectman raised a separate concern about four-wheelers and other vehicles being left overnight in the Depot Street lot. The sign language in the current ordinance specifically references town parks but does not explicitly call out municipal parking lots, and the board asked staff to clarify whether "town property" or "town parking lots" language should be added to address overnight parking at Depot Street. The board directed staff to review rules and regs and return with suggested ordinance language. No immediate ordinance change was adopted; staff will prepare wording for the board to consider and coordinate with the Depot Street development plans for future stall design and permitted uses.
