The hearing, which was standing room only, lasted about half an hour, during which time the public, members of the board of selectmen and Castine Town Manager Shawn Blodgett discussed hourly parking changes, footage of no parking areas at intersections, parking enforcement and more.
Changes include removing the twohour parking restriction on the north side of Court Street from Pleasant Street to Dresser Lane, and changing it to no overnight parking, which would allow for more parking options for students at Maine Maritime Academy.
Additionally, the two-hour parking restriction on the west side of the street between Battle Avenue and Court Street coming down Main Street will also be removed, and changed to no overnight parking.
