Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther says if the city has another winter weather event, the streets that have already been cleared will have to be cleared again.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – About 24 hours after a winter storm that brought inches of snow to Columbus, Mayor Andrew Ginther says crews are now starting to clear the Priority 2 roads.
Ginther was out with a snowman team Tuesday and says there are three levels of priority for road treatment: priority 1 are main roads, priority 2 are entrances to residential areas. Priority 3 are residential areas.
According to Ginther, it could take all weekend to hit Priority 3 streets. However, Columbus could see more winter weather this week which could bring the city back to first place.
“Every time there is a snow event we have to start with the priority ones, the major thoroughfares, especially near hospitals, schools, and business premises that we always start with,” Ginther said.
