Road crews to continue treating slick and covered roads Friday

Columbia Public Works says snow operations will continue Friday morning at 7:00. This comes after Columbia got an inch of snow Thursday. Public works says they have inspected priority routes and consider them in passable condition.

Crews will address neighborhood streets in residential areas Friday during regular business hours as needed, if priority routes stay driveable.

Public works says its policies for going into residential neighborhoods are available at CoMoSnow.com, but to summarize, the designated snow routes are the priority during a snow event. If less than four inches accumulates, residential streets are addressed after priority routes are passable during regular business hours.

Once crews go into residential areas, they can always get recalled back to priority routes by the incident commander. If more than 4 inches falls, the same standard applies, except that crews will work overtime in order to address priority streets and then residential streets once priorities are passable.
