Abstract: A sidewalk maintenance vehicle for clearing snow and ice from a surface and for applying granular material to the surface comprises a tractor for providing mobility to the sidewalk maintenance vehicle and having a generally central longitudinal axis. A snow and ice removal apparatus, such as a plow blade, is mounted on the tractor so as to be disposed forwardly of the tractor and generally tranversely to the generally central longitudinal axis. A hopper is mounted on the tractor for carrying the granular material therein. The hopper has an outlet disposed longitudinally between the tractor and the plow, and a dispensing means operatively mounted at the outlet for permitting controlled dispensing of the granular material from the hopper onto the surface.
