After one of the most significant snowfalls in decades, the City of Cincinnati is still clearing the aftermath of the recent winter storm.
With traffic moving on main roads and interstates, Department of Public Services crews are now shifting their attention to the residential streets buried in snow.
The city had set a self-imposed deadline to make streets passable within 24 hours after snow fell.
As of 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, the city said plows had traveled more than 21,000 lane miles to clear and re-clear roads. That is the equivalent of plowing the entire city seven times.

Northside resident Sophie Underdown is ready to see a plow on her residential street, which is now covered with a thick layer of compact snow and ice.
“I’ve not seen weather like this since I was probably 7 or 8 years old, back in the late 70s. This is unreal,” Underwood said with a shovel in her hand.
