About Ice Removal

Introduction

Clearing ice from commercial properties is crucial to creating a safe and accessible environment for customers and employees alike. But, taking on the daunting task of ice removal is no small feat, especially when the area you need to de-ice includes commercial parking lots, business driveways, and access sidewalks. This guide will walk you through the importance of professional ice removal, the process involved, and the benefits it offers. Whether it’s a bustling city center or a regional business hub, understanding and employing efficient ice removal strategies can help protect your property, clientele, and business reputation, ensuring you enjoy a smooth-running business operation even during harsh winter weather.

Understanding Ice Removal

Dealing with the downsides of winter is a reality that businesses in colder climates must confront. The primary keyword in our discussion, ice removal, may seem simple in thought, but the act itself is often much more complex, especially when it involves large commercial properties. To maintain a safe and navigable environment, timely and effective ice removal is of the essence. Incorporating commercial parking lot ice removal, business driveway ice removal, and access sidewalk ice removal as part of routine maintenance is crucial to not only ensuring safety but also minimizing potential liabilities.

The Process of Ice Removal

The approach to commercial property ice removal varies depending on a range of factors, including the size and layout of the property, the severity of the weather, and local regulations. However, the primary steps are preparation, application, and preventive measures. Preparation involves assessing the area, identifying potential hazards, and planning for safe and efficient ice removal. Businesses then apply their chosen ice-melt product, typically in the form of granules, liquid solutions, or a combination of both. Following application, there’s typically an ongoing monitoring process to ensure ice doesn’t re-form. The property would also need continued maintenance to maintain a safe, ice-free environment.

Commercial Parking Lot Ice Removal

One of the most significant areas on any commercial property is the parking lot. Ice removal in such vast areas requires strategic planning and the use of professional-grade equipment to clear ice effectively without damaging the asphalt. Using heavy-duty plows, ice melters, and skilled labor, professional service providers can keep these spaces safe and functional.

Business Driveway Ice Removal

Depending on the layout of your business premises, ice removal from driveways may require a different approach. The task involves the use of equipment suited for tighter spaces, and ensuring that the driveway surface is free from ice, but without leaving residue that could damage vehicles or the substrate.

Access Sidewalk Ice Removal

Ice removal from the access sidewalks is equally important. Here, an effective approach often involves a combination of manual labor and machine assistance, along with careful application of ice-melt products that won’t damage sidewalks. This process aims to ensure smooth, safe pedestrian movement.

The Benefits of Professional Ice Removal

Maintaining a commercially viable presence during the winter months requires businesses to prioritize ice removal. Investing in professional ice removal services provides numerous benefits. Firstly, it ensures the safety of both employees and customers, reducing the risk of accidents and potential liabilities. It also enhances the aesthetics and accessibility of your physical business location, contributing to the overall customer experience. Plus, the use of professional services saves time and effort, allowing businesses to focus more on their core activities.

Conclusion

Ice removal is a critical aspect of property management during winter months, particularly for commercial properties with large open spaces such as parking lots, driveways, and access sidewalks. By understanding the ice removal process and the importance of engaging professional services, businesses can ensure a safer, more accessible environment for customers and employees. This not only reduces potential liabilities but also contributes to a better customer experience and overall business reputation. So, whether you operate in the heart of the city or in a regional business hub, never underestimate the importance and benefits of professional ice removal.

About Anchor Bay Harbor, Michigan

History

Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.

The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.

Geography

Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.

Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.

Communities

There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:

  • Anchor Bay Gardens is located off Jefferson Avenue at Sunrise Street and Jans Drive (42°38′34″N 82°48′45″W / 42.64278°N 82.81250°W / 42.64278; -82.81250; Elevation: 571 ft./174 m.).
  • Anchor Bay Harbor is located on Jefferson Avenue south of Anchor Bay Gardens, between Sugerbush and Cotton roads (42°39′19.1″N 82°47′56.7″W / 42.655306°N 82.799083°W / 42.655306; -82.799083; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).
  • Anchor Bay Shores is located off Jefferson Avenue, south of Anchor Bay Harbor between William P. Rosso Highway and 21 Mile Road (42°38′08″N 82°49′00″W / 42.63556°N 82.81667°W / 42.63556; -82.81667; Elevation: 581 ft./177 m.)
  • Chesterfield is located on M-3 from 23 Mile Road to 22 Mile Road. (42°39′46″N 82°50′33″W / 42.66278°N 82.84250°W / 42.66278; -82.84250; Elevation: 607 ft./185 m.)
  • Chesterfield Shores is near the border with City of New Baltimore north of Jefferson Avenue and south of M-29/23 Mile Road (42°40′12″N 82°45′41″W / 42.67000°N 82.76139°W / 42.67000; -82.76139 ; Elevation: 587 ft./179 m.).
  • Fairchild was located in the southern portion of the township. It had a post office starting in 1906.
  • Lottivue is located between Jefferson Avenue, Lake Saint Clair, Brandenburg Park and Schneider Road (42°39′34″N 82°45′43″W / 42.65944°N 82.76194°W / 42.65944; -82.76194 ; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).

The first post office in the township was established here in 1837 in the house of Robert O. Milton, with the name of “New Haven Post Office”. When this was moved to New Haven, Alfred D. Rice established another post office in Milton. That post office closed at some point, and another was opened in January 1856, with Edmund Matthews as postmaster. This office operated until July 1904. Milton was home to a school, three churches, a doctor, a blacksmith, and a couple of saloons. The last saloon survived until 2004, when it was torn down, at that time it was known as the “Teddy Bear Bar.” The school, known as Milton School, was incorporated into another building, which was torn down in 2002.
