Snow Removal Parking Bans

Snow removal (pickup) Parking Bans are identified with NO PARKING signs posted along the roadway. The Yellow signs have a starting time of 8:00pm and the Orange signs have a starting time of 9:30pm and both end at 7:00am the following day. Signs are placed during the morning before snow removal activity begins. Vehicles may park in any legal parking stall on any street not marked with NO PARKING signs and not included in the Snow Removal Parking Ban. Vehicles may also be parked in municipal parking lots during Snow Removal Parking Bans, as long as that particular parking lot is not posted as No Parking and is not included in the Snow Removal Parking Ban.

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 coopera-tively work to make the downtown a safe and inviting environment for all of our residents, visitors and customers.

The City owns a number of properties within the downtown business area and the Public Works Department is charged with the responsibility of clearing snow / ice from those areas. The Department typically assists other property owners by running its side-walk plow wherever it safely fits in the area. However, this does not relieve the other property owners of their re-sponsibility to clear snow / ice. Also, the City offers free sand and salt mix-ture at the Recycling / 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 downtown business area is comprised of the following streets: Adams Street (Main to Jefferson) Main Street (Elm to Water) Alfred Street (Main to Mount Vernon) Pool Street (Alfred to Foss) Elm Street South Street (Adams to Jefferson) Federal Street Washington Street (Main to Jefferson)

Franklin Street Washington Street (Jefferson to Alfred, east side) Jefferson Street Water Street (Hill to Sullivan)

Lincoln Street (easterly side)

Please report any problems to either the Biddeford Public Works Department at 282-1579 or the Biddeford Police Department at 282-5127.
