About Ice Removal
Introduction
Winter months can bring joy with snowfall and holiday festivities, but they can also bring major challenges for businesses who may struggle with ice accumulation not just as an inconvenience, but as a safety hazard, too. One of the key aspects you need to consider is ice removal. It’s not just about maintaining a positive appearance, it also helps in preventing accidents and ensuring unobstructed access to your commercial property. Let’s delve deeper into the world of ice removal, its distinct benefits, and practical solutions centered around the main areas like commercial parking lot ice removal, business driveway ice removal, and access sidewalk ice removal.
Understanding Ice Removal
Ice removal, simply put, is the process of clearing accumulated ice from outdoor surfaces. However, the practice becomes complex when applied to commercial spaces. The diversity in space and use of commercial properties means a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t viable. Commercial parking lot ice removal is vastly different from a business driveway or access sidewalk ice removal, both in terms of method and scale.
Commercial Parking Lot Ice Removal
A parking lot of a business entity is typically larger than other areas and tends to house a significant amount of vehicular movement. The parking area becomes more susceptible to accidents due to ice formation during the winter months. Here, ice removal not only helps in making the area safer, but it also increases the longevity of the pavement. By preventing heavy ice build-up, cracking, and potholes can also be kept at bay. Though there are numerous ice removal methods out there, some of the most notable ones for parking lots include the use of ice melts, heated pavement systems, and professional ice removal services.
Business Driveway Ice Removal
Much like commercial parking lots, business driveways also bear the brunt of winter’s wrath. The presence of ice in these areas can create unsafe conditions for staff and visitors alike. However, given the relatively smaller scale of driveways in comparison to parking lots, the ice removal method can be more precise. Personnel can use spreaders to scatter salt or other kinds of de-icers for effective ice removal. For more convenience and coverage, businesses might opt for power ice removal tools or professional ice removal services.
Access Sidewalk Ice Removal
One of the most critical areas needing ice removal is the access sidewalks leading to your business. Neglected sidewalks can lead to dangerous situations, causing injuries due to slipping on ice. Commercial properties are responsible for maintaining these sidewalks, making it imperative to prioritize their ice removal. Whether you decide to use hand tools for breaking and removing ice or hire professionals, quick and effective ice removal can ensure smooth access for your customers and promote overall safety.
Benefits of Ice Removal
The perks of ice removal extend far beyond aesthetics. Most importantly, it mitigates slip-and-fall risks for staff and customers alike, promoting safety and limiting legal liabilities. It also makes your business more inviting and accessible, potentially boosting customer traffic during the winter months. Furthermore, regular ice removal plays a crucial part in preserving the integrity of your pavement or concrete over time.
Conclusion
As we’ve seen, ice removal from commercial properties is more than just a cursory task. It’s a vital measure to ensure the safety of everyone who comes into contact with your business and maintains the integrity of your property. From commercial parking lot ice removal to business driveway and access sidewalk ice removal, every part plays a role in contributing to a safer, more efficient business environment during the hazardous winter months. Always remember, it’s not just about removal, it’s also about prevention and routine checks.

About Broad Acres, Michigan
History
The first settlement on the land that is now Clinton Township was called Gnadenhuetten and was established in 1782 by Rev. David Zeisberger, but closed in 1786. It was organized as “Huron Township” on August 12, 1818, named after what was then known as the Huron River. Because of confusion with another Huron River south of Detroit, on July 17, 1824, the Michigan Territorial Legislature renamed both the township and the river after DeWitt Clinton, the popular governor of New York from 1817 to 1823 who was largely responsible for building the Erie Canal which enabled many settlers to come to Michigan.
Moravian Drive is the township’s oldest road, dating back to the days when Moravian missionaries settled to attempt to convert the local Native Americans.
Geography
Clinton Township is in south-central Macomb County. The city of Mount Clemens, the Macomb county seat, is bordered on three sides by the northeast part of the township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Clinton Township has a total area of 28.37 square miles (73.5 km), of which 28.03 square miles (72.6 km2) are land and 0.35 square miles (0.91 km), or 1.22%, are water. The Clinton River, for which the community is named, is formed from three branches within the township. It runs east into Harrison Township, where it flows into Lake St. Clair. The township is home to many parks, notably George George Memorial Park.
Communities
There are two unincorporated communities in the township:
- Broad Acres is located in the southeastern portion on M-3/Gratiot Avenue between 15 Mile and Quinn Roads (42°32′57″N 82°54′08″W / 42.54917°N 82.90222°W; Elevation: 610 ft./186 m.).

Cady served for a time as township supervisor and was also a member of the state legislature. It had a post office from 1864 until 1906.
