Priority two roads are typically residential roads and given a lower priority based on speed and traffic volume, according to the city’s maintenance priority map<\/a>. Priority three streets are usually dead ends and cul-de-sacs, according to the website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t [State changes road priorities for snow plowing in Juneau<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Foster said most of the priority two roads should be done by the end of the business day Tuesday, but if there’s additional snow, crews may have to re-plow the main roads.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Beginning at roughly noon Monday, downtown Juneau and Douglas received about eight inches of snow, according to Daniel Hartsock, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Juneau. The valley got about six inches while Auke Bay got only two, Hartsock said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t More snow is expected through midnight Tuesday, Hartsock said, with another two-three inches on the way.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “Wednesday evening is the best chance for the next heavier snow showers,” Hartsock said. “Starting Thursday not much snow but colder temperatures.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Jeff Thole clears the sidewalk on snow in front of Louie’s Douglas Inn on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2020.
