The lots along Grand Island Boulevard have to be open before the doors are — that is the whole equation of a commercial winter. OBrien's Site Services runs it at four in the morning: push the lot down to the pavement, stack the piles where they will not block sight lines, salt the entries and the accessible spaces first. Island snow comes in fast off the water and can undo an hour of work in twenty minutes, so the route gets run again. It is unglamorous, and it is the reason a place can open at seven.
