Sand should be used when it's too cold for deicers to work. While sand has no ice-melting capacity, it increases friction on iced pavement to help reduce falling accidents. Salt is a reliable, highly efficent deicer for melting snow and ice; however, it is corrosive to new concrete and can kill grass alongside areas where it's applied.  Red Eye Snow Removal will use the right material when it is appropriate, whether it be temperature-related or just your personal preference. 

 The responsibility of sidewalk snow clearing generally falls into three categories of policies: 

• Property Owner Responsibility: Property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property within a defined timeframe.
• Partially Municipality-Led: The municipality clears snow and ice from priority sidewalks while property owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks in the rest of the municipality. 
• Municipality-Led: The municipality takes responsibility for clearing snow and ice from all sidewalks using municipal staff and/ or hiring contractors to perform the work.  

Who's responsible isn't always clear, but one thing is: you should always have a clear sidwalk to ensure safe, comfortable walking that reduces the risk of injuries from slips and falls. In addition, sidewalks are necessary infrastructure for people who use mobility devices.  Red Eye is happy to help keep the community safe,  just give us a call!
