Goran Saric, director of roadways, fleet and support with the city, said all priority streets are now expected to be graded by midnight on Wednesday.

“We were able to accelerate some of this work,” Saric said.

Priority streets weren’t initially expected to be cleared until Thursday at midnight.

Saric said once that is finished, crews will begin work immediately on grading residential streets.
