City breaks out new ice crushers
The city bought eight new ice-crushing machines last year but has been cautious about using them because they can damage the road surface if the ice is too thin. I haven’t spotted one in use yet.

So the sidewalks need to be larger than most, clear of debris and pedestrian (because they need to be rolling at a certain speed to be effective) and the ice has to be just thick enough to not damage the road surface?
What kind of goldilock scenario were these things purchased for exactly?

On Facebook someone describes watching the machine chew up the ice on a hilly street and apparently it’s very efficient, but you know how Facebook is – I can’t find the item any more.
