Could ice be vibrated off the street?
My area is in the middle of Winter. An early snow went through typical periods of warming and cooling. Melting and refreezing.
Many of the streets now have hard packed ice with large grooves where tires run. Trying to turn a car can cause quite a bit of bouncing around. Intersections are often ice rinks. Of course, walking across the street is a bit dangerous.
Could a machine of some type cause the ice to vibrate hard enough to break its bond to the street? Perhaps shatter it into pieces for easy removal?
