FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 27, 2026

For the safety of pedestrians and children who walk to school, the Borough of Waynesboro would like to remind residents and business owners that local law requires that snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks along the street within 24 hours after the end of a winter storm, which has been determined to be noon on Monday, January 26, 2026.

Please be advised that on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Borough representatives will randomly inspect sidewalks within street rights-of-way in the Borough and issue tickets to property owners who failed to clear sidewalks of snow and ice. A first-offense ticket includes a $75 fine. A second-offense ticket, occurring within 6 months of the first offense, includes a $150 fine. Third and subsequent offense ticket(s), occurring within 6 months of the second or subsequent offense, include a fine of $250.  Each subsequent twenty-four (24) hour period after the cessation of any storm shall constitute a separate offense. Failure to pay the fine within 10 days of issuance will result in charges being filed with the Magisterial District Judge.

It is important to note that inspections will be conducted for sidewalks within street rights-of-way in the Borough only. If you are uncertain where those streets are located, please contact the Borough at 717-762-2101.

If you have any questions, please contact Matthew Schmidt, Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer, at 717-762-2101, Ext. 230 or matt@waynesboropa.gov.
