Bangor has issued a downtown parking ban near the Kenduskeag Stream in preparation for possible flooding.
People should not park downtown in areas on both sides of the stream, the city wrote in a notification sent Sunday afternoon. That includes parking areas adjacent to the canal, such as behind the Pickering Square garage, Merchants Plaza, Bangor Savings Bank and Camden National Bank.
The city restricted parking out of an abundance of caution after Maine was hit with heavy rains, high winds and flooding over the weekend. City officials will monitor conditions and reopen parking areas once the danger of flooding has passed Monday, according to the notification.
“Please be mindful that flooding of downtown parking lots is possible and heed warning signage,” the notification said.
