City officer pushes snow law on state for Motter Avenue
Frederick police issued several tickets to residents for shoveling sidewalks along Motter Avenue near the US 15 bridge. Police chief Richard J. Ashton sought to charge the State Highway Administration for not clearing the path, citing a dangerous route for students. The city ordinance requires property owners to shovel adjacent sidewalks, carrying a $25 fine, but the state argued exemption and refused to shovel. A city attorney advised against civilly citing the SHA, leaving the dispute unresolved amid safety concerns and a prior decision by the county school board to end bus service for Amber Meadows students.
