Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. 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.
  2. Some cities have responded by trucking the excess snow to melting stations, where powerful jets of heated water reduce it to wastewater within hours.
  3. This approach creates a secondary problem, because the mounds of plowed snow narrow sidewalks, block storm drains, and eventually have nowhere left to go.
  4. 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.
  5. When a major snowstorm hits a dense city, transportation departments must clear thousands of kilometers of road before morning traffic resumes.
