Metro Detroit Snow Removal

About Metro Detroit Snow Removal

Gratiot Avenue runs southwest out of Clinton Township toward the city, and in a storm it becomes a river of taillights and salt spray at five in the morning. Metro Detroit Snow Removal keeps its routes moving along that corridor — lots plowed, entrances opened, walkways cleared and treated before the shift change. Winter on this side of the metro is stop-and-start: a thaw, a refreeze, a squall off the water, then the same again. So the work is watchful more than heroic, run and re-run until the pavement stays dark. Getting people in and out of a place safely is the entire measure of it.
