The City of Bangor Downtown Parking Advisory Committee held a productive meeting on June 13, 2025, where members discussed the future direction of the committee and the scheduling of upcoming meetings.

A key point raised during the meeting was the suggestion for a shift in leadership dynamics. One member expressed a desire for citizens to take a more prominent role in leading the committee, with a council liaison present for support. This proposal aims to enhance community involvement and ownership of parking initiatives, although it was agreed that further discussion on this topic would take place in future meetings.

The committee also addressed the necessity of meeting at least four times a year, as mandated by city code. Members discussed the importance of scheduling future meetings at times that accommodate the majority. To facilitate this, the idea of using a survey to gather availability from committee members was proposed.

As the meeting concluded, no additional business was presented, and a motion to adjourn was unanimously accepted. The committee looks forward to reconvening and continuing its work on improving downtown parking solutions in Bangor.
