INDIANAPOLIS — As main thoroughfares and roads are looking better Monday night, residential streets have a long way to go before the snow is cleared.

Indianapolis residents that live near main roads say they’ve never seen the city clear their streets.

“I’ve got all-wheel drive so I don’t usually have a problem with this,” Brandon Jardine, a Fountain Square resident, said. “The city never comes and clears the streets or anything. They clear the main roads but not the residential streets.”

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works says they always start with plowing major city thoroughfares such as Keystone Avenue and Fall Creek Parkway.

Next, crews clear secondary streets. Those roads connect major city streets to other less-traveled roads.
