About KE&I LLC

Dickinson's downtown runs along Villard Street in a row of sandstone and brick buildings put up when the town was still a rail stop between the Heart River and the open range, and those storefronts need their sidewalks clear before the first customer of the morning finds footing. KE&I LLC plows the lots and clears the walks along that stretch and through the blocks around it, working early enough that the salt has time to bite before foot traffic starts. Western North Dakota's winters arrive off the high plains with little warning — a clear morning can turn to blowing snow across Sims Street by noon — so the crew treats every storm as one that might return before the last one is finished. What holds afterward is the plain fact of a walk you can cross without watching your feet, a lot plowed square to its lines, done in a town where the wind rarely gives anyone an easy morning to work with.
