CHAMPAIGN -- Crews are busy clearing snow from streets, but some neighborhoods feel forgotten. Areas like this are secondary streets. It means plows come here after clearing main roads.

In Champaign alone, public works has more than 600 lanes to clear. Hundreds of those have to be kept clear until 12-hours after the last snowfall. Some people who haven't seen a plow in their neighborhoods are disappointed, but understand crews have a lot of work to do.
