Winter Sidewalk VEHICLES IN VIOLATION OF Maintenance Call To Verify A Ban Has Been Declared Information PARKING BANS ARE TOWED On Other Side (207) 571-0616 AT OWNER’S EXPENSE! December 19, 2018 Winter Sidewalk Maintenance In The Downtown Business Area City ordinances (Chapter 62 Sec. 62-1) require property owners in the down- town business area to remove ice and snow from the public sidewalks abut- ting their properties.The goal is to have all the business owners cooperatively work to make the business area a safe and inviting environment for all of our residents, visitors and customers. The City owns a number of properties within the business area and the Pub- lic Works Department is charged with the responsibility of clearing snow / ice from those areas. The Department typically assists other property owners by running its sidewalk plow wherever it safely fits in the area. However, this does not relieve the other property owners of their responsibility to clear snow / ice. Also, the City offers free sand and salt mixture at the Recy- cling / Transfer Station at 371 Hill Street during the winter months. There is a limit of two 5 gallon buckets per day. In cases where a property owner does not address this responsibility, fines and fees for clearing the sidewalk may be imposed by the City. The business area is comprised of the following streets: Adams Street (Main to Jefferson) Main Street (Saco River to Elm St.) Alfred Street (Main to Mount Vernon) Pool Street (Alfred to Foss) Elm Street (Saco River to Center St.) South Street (Adams to Jefferson) Federal Street Washington Street (Main to Jefferson) Franklin Street Washington Street (Even/odd numbered side) Jefferson Street Water Street (Hill to Sullivan) Lincoln Street (Even/odd numbered side) Snow Parking Ban Information On Other Side Please report any problems to either the Biddeford Public Works Department at 282-1579 or the Biddeford Police Department at 282-5127.
