Here are three things you need to know about winter plowing procedures and snow emergencies in Columbus and Franklin County during the winter.
From the middle of November through mid-spring, public safety, roads and power crews in central Ohio prepare themselves for snow.
The City of Columbus Snow and Ice Control Plan divides the roadways the city is responsible for into three priorities:cover approximately 1,550 city lane miles and include portions of U.S. 33, State Routes 315, 104 and 161 and several other non-interstate freeways that serve the Downtown area and outlying residential areas.
The change follows complaints last winter that too many residential areas had streets left untreated and motorists couldn't get to the main collector or arterial roads. The city had blamed some of its problems on a lack of snow plow drivers last winter, and Tourville has said Columbus is better prepared this year with more drivers.Residential Roadways
Jennifer Gallagher, Columbus public service director, acknowledged officials needed to make improvements. In 2021, state plow drivers spent 167,000 hours, covering 1 million miles on the roads, and they typically work 12- to 16-hour shifts, Ebersole said. Officials expect this year to be no different.American Electric Power Ohio focuses on preventing outages by investing in reliable systems and is working to expand and accommodate a growing population, said Michael Lascola, training and education coordinator at AEP Ohio.
