Maybe a dumb comment, but I thought the salt helps to melt the ice.
I think it's a different type of "salt".

1) Salt lowers the freezing point of water, thus making the ice on the streets/sidewalk a liquid and letting it evaporate.

2) Salt lowers the freezing point of water, thus allow the liquid surrounding the ice cubes to get below 32ºF without freezing, making the water colder, making it cool things faster.

3) I find adding isopropyl alcohol to my ice baths is way more effective and less messy than salt
