Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Although these stations are expensive to operate, officials argue that the cost is justified by the reduced flooding and faster return to normal traffic flow.
- Some cities have responded by trucking the excess snow to melting stations, where powerful jets of heated water reduce it to wastewater within hours.
- This approach creates a secondary problem, because the mounds of plowed snow narrow sidewalks, block storm drains, and eventually have nowhere left to go.
- Crews typically plow arterial roads and bus routes first, pushing snow to the curb, and only turn to residential streets once the main network is passable.
- When a major snowstorm hits a dense city, transportation departments must clear thousands of kilometers of road before morning traffic resumes.
