Bloomington
Public
Works
deserves
a
pat
on
the
back,
as
they
are
one
of
146
facilities
in
the
u.s.
to
receive
the
2012
salt,
Institute,
safe
and
sustainable
snow
fighting
award.
B
The
award
is
given
to
agencies
that
recognize
environmental
factors
and
effective
management
in
the
storage
of
winter
road,
salt,
the
city
of
Bloomington
pretreat
streets
with
an
anti-icing
brine
solution,
which
is
a
liquid
mixture
of
salt
and
water.
This
process
typically
occurs
12
to
24
hours
before
a
forecast
of
snowfall.
Once
the
liquid
is
sprayed
on
the
roadways,
it
dries
leaving
thin
lines
of
salt
on
the
street.
B
The
salt
prevents
the
bonding
of
snow
and
ice,
allowing
snow
plows
to
clean
the
streets
more
effectively,
while
also
reducing
the
amount
of
salt
applied
during
an
actual
snowfall.
The
salt
Institute
is
a
north
american-based,
non-profit
trade
association
dedicated
to
advancing
the
many
benefits
of
salt,
particularly
to
ensure
winter
roadway,
safety,
quality,
water
and
healthy
nutrition.
This
year,
Bloomington
is
the
only
city
in
Minnesota
to
be
honored
and
well.
We've
got
snow
on
your
mind,
check
out
this
quick
reminder
that

keep
a
blaze

your

Minnesota,

feet
high.

case
of
an
emergency.
So
