Out along Sand Creek where the shops and yards sit low and the pavement runs wide, snow has to be moved rather than merely pushed aside — there is more of it than the edges can ever hold. Colorado Springs Hauling & Snow Removal plows and clears across the city, opening lots, lanes and gates, then carting the piles off once the banks begin eating the space they stand on. Walks, dock aprons and entry paths get shoveled and treated so the people working outside are not the ones sliding. In a city where a storm is often followed by two bright days, timing the haul-off matters every bit as much as timing the plow. Wide-open pavement after a hard week of weather is a very good sight from the cab.
