But they do prioritize ofcourse, you can't plow everything at once. It's usually fixed within the day of the snowfall unless it's a bad snowstorm when it can take up to a couple of days until everything is done. Like we had several of last year.
They first just run the plow everywhere, then they switch to machines to move the worst snowpiles away from corners and make more space for the next snowstorm so the plow can run again. If you don't do this, the roads will get smaller and smaller for each snowstorm.
Priority is buss roads, main roads and priority 1 bicycle/walkways, then they start on priority 2 roads and bicycle/walkways. The sidewalks are used for snowdumps until they have time to remove them.
The inner city areas doesn't have enough space to store snow so it gets carried by trucks to designated snowdumps that may or may not be empty by the next winter. Our town had several excavators digging in the snow piles all summer to try to make them melt faster. They didn't succeed this summer so they are dumping on top of last years snow.
