Icy Roads Persist After Blizzard In Garden City
Garden City residents face slick streets more than a week after a blizzard dumped up to 15 inches of snow. The city’s snow removal policy targets major streets and intersections, starting plowing at over two inches of accumulation when melting is unlikely, with sun melting used to save costs if conditions allow. An ice buildup on Kansas Avenue caused two incidents Tuesday, including a spinout involving Kimberly Kottas as she drove near Third and Center, highlighting ongoing hazards from blocked sunlight and icy stretches.
