Know Snow 2021 - 2022

FWC volunteers are spending the beginning of November reminding business owners in our area of the sidewalk snow removal guidelines. Please do your part and help us get the word out to businesses and residents. See the flyer below!

Free Sand and Salt: the City has a supply of free sand and pet-safe salt mix located at the Little League parking lot in Payson Park. This sand and salt is for residential use only (contractors are not allowed). Residents may take two 5-gallon pails at a time (bring your own shovel).

Residents are encouraged to help neighbors who are physically unable (elderly and disabled) to clear their sidewalks. For more information on the City’s Volunteer Shoveling Program, please contact Linda Weare 207-541-6620 or Isw@portlandmaine.gov.

Residents are encouraged to help the Portland Fire Department by keeping areas around fire hydrants clear of snow and ice.

Go the extra foot (or two)! Shovel 1-2 feet past your property line to ensure that everyone has continuous, snow-free sidewalks.

Anyone can report concerns (e.g. sidewalks that are not cleared of snow and/or ice) using the City’s Fix it website or through the See Click Fix mobile app, available via the Apple or Android App Store. Alternatively, residents with sidewalk plowing concerns can call 207-874-8793.[2]
