The best crime prevention technique is to assist your neighbors and keep your streets clean and safe!

In order to keep your streets clean, The City of Frederick staff asks that vehicles be removed from your street on the street cleaning nights each week.

The City of Frederick has established very high standards in street cleaning. Street sweeping is given such priority to satisfy the following objectives:

· Environment - Improve the quality of stormwater runoff from City Streets,

· Safety - Remove road debris that can damage vehicles and adversely affect traction,

· Economy - Extend pavement life and reduce wear on stormwater management systems,

· Aesthetics - Provide a cleaner, more sanitary appearance to City streets.

Sec. 13-40. Parking prohibited during garbage collection and street cleaning.

The board of aldermen may by resolution designate those streets and those times for which parking shall be prohibited so as to facilitate garbage collection and street cleaning. Written notification of the terms of said resolution shall thereafter be immediately delivered to the director of public safety. Upon posting of the streets with notification of the restrictions as contained in said resolution, it shall be unlawful to park a vehicle in violation thereof. (Ord. No. G-74-13, § 1; Ord. No. G-75-38, § 1; Ord. No. G-88-6, § 1, 5-5-88)

The City of Frederick Police Department will ticket vehicles owners who do not comply with these parking standards. Vehicles who receive multiple tickets for this parking offense will be towed at the owner’s expense.

To report a chronic parking violator in your neighborhood, please contact The City of Frederick Police Department’s non-emergency line at 301-600-2100.
