From the Community Update today:
"Please remember - In order to conserve the snow removal budget, the Association does not start removing snow until there is at least 4 inches and the storm has subsided. Also, the ice melt that is used is calcium chloride, not salt."
Um, hello. Chemistry 101. Calcium chloride is a type of salt. It's a common substitute for sodium chloride which is highly corrosive and may damage the environment. Calcium chloride is also highly corrosive but slightly less damaging to vegetation and soil.
Calcium magnesium acetate is a better choice however, it will ruin the water supply and it doesn't come cheap.
Unfortunately, there isn't one "ice melt" product that is perfect. If it doesn't ruin your plants or hardscape, it won't melt the ice either.
The best way to get rid of ice and snow is manual labor. On the road, after plowing, sand helps with traction and is clean for the environment.
