Elimination of Sand from De-Icing Mixtures in Urbanized Areas
The City no longer uses a sand/salt mixture in the urban areas. In previous winters, the City would apply a mixture of 70% salt and 30% sand to its roads to de-ice the roadway. The sand portion has been eliminated, and only the salt portion is applied.
This change helps:
Note: Sand is used in the rural areas on the gravel roads. No salt is applied.
