IMHO this would be an excellent idea. The problem would probably be that the city would say this is not a cost effective solution, as pet safe salt alternatives are more expensive. Also they would have to send out a special truck loaded with the salt alternative to only do your plaza lot. I doubt they would do that. I personally only use pet safe around my house and right now we have 8 inches of snow from the past couple days and it's still snowing. I wear boots on my retired greyhound and my miniature poodle any time we have to go where there may be real salt used. Just a thought maybe you could sell boots where you work if you already do you could nicely recommend them to customers especially those who bring in dogs already experiencing pad problems.
