While Department of Public Works crews are out plowing and clearing the City of Hagerstown’s streets , on - street parking spaces , and parking lots this winter , you can assist with the snow removal efforts in the following ways:
    
   Do not use on - street parking spaces if you can avoid it .  If you must use those spaces , no saving spaces with items such as chairs and buckets is permitted .
    
   Clear the sidewalks adjacent to your property .   Property owners are responsible for clearing snow and/or ice on sidewalks adjacent to properties within 24 hours for the safety of pedestrians .  Not only is it a neighborly act , it is the law .  Please visit
   www . hagerstownmd . org/629/Sidewalk - Snow - Removalfor detailed information concerning sidewalk snow removal guidelines .
    
   Do not plow , shovel , blow , or place snow on streets or roadways .  Doing so is illegal .
    
   Shovel around fire hydrants and mailboxes .  Clear a three - foot path from the road to the hydrant and a minimum of three feet on all sides of the hydrant .  Clearing snow around hydrants will assist the Hagerstown Fire Department in the event of an emergency .
    
   Consider clearing a path for meter readers or mail carriers .
    
   Keep neighborhood storm drains free of snow and ice to enable snow melt to drain properly .
    
   Place garbage and recycling containers at least three feet back from the curb to avoid contact with snowplows .
    
   Do not crowd plows while they are operational .   Such behavior is especially dangerous during a storm when visibility is limited .
    
   Check on your elderly and/or sick neighbors who may be unable to clear their sidewalks .
    
   Please be patient!
