COLUMBUS, Ohio — About 24 hours after a winter storm that brought several inches of snow to Columbus, Mayor Andrew Ginther says crews are now starting to clear Priority 2 streets.
Ginther was riding along with a snow crew Tuesday and says there are three priority levels for treating roads: Priority 1 is major roadways, Priority 2 is entrances to residential areas. Priority 3 is residential neighborhoods.
According to Ginther, it could take through the weekend to get through the Priority 3 streets. However, Columbus could see more winter weather this week, which may bring the city back to square one.
“Every time there's a snow event we have to start with the priority ones, the major thoroughfares, particularly around hospitals, schools, places of business, those are always the ones we start with,” Ginther said.
