Grand Forks Snow Removal

About Grand Forks Snow Removal

A hockey night at the Ralph can empty half of Grand Forks onto the same few blocks near campus, and Grand Forks Snow Removal keeps those paths open through the parts of winter when a home game means real foot traffic on real ice. Students crossing between dorms and lecture halls don't have the luxury of waiting for the sun to soften a walk, so the clearing has to happen well before the first 8 a.m. class. The university runs on its own calendar inside the city's calendar, and the crew learns which paths get walked hardest — the shortcut past the library, the route from the rink back toward the dorms after a late game. It's a different kind of pressure than a quiet residential street, more people moving through in a shorter window. Doing that clearing early enough means campus never quite notices the storm happened at all.
