Hey look, snow! | If you see brown on the roads this winter, don’t be alarmed - we’re is trialing beet juice mixed with salt brine as an anti-icing agent. 
Beet Juice Brine has an organic compound in it that reduces the corrosiveness in comparison to road salt. Beet Brine has been tested in small amounts in Calgary before but this year, Roads will be doing a much larger trial of the liquid anti-icing material on city streets and on the cycle tracks.
