Cohousing-L Mailing List: Icy parking lots and walk and driveways

[Thomas Lofft (tlofft]

Question from LIberty Village: how do other communities handle snowy and icy 
walkways and roads? I am particularly interested in places that are probably 
close to us in the amount of snow you get each year, but we have already had 
four snow storms this season and several days of sub-freezing temperatures.

We clear our own parking lots and walk and driveways but we do not treat them 
with anything. I feel this is dangerous and want to know how you treat your 
walkways and parking lots for safety when they are icy.
 
Collateral question: How have you dealt with concerns for only using 'pet 
friendly' ice remoivers? 

Thanks for any ideas.
