SASKATOON - The City of Saskatoon has declared a snow event following 11cm snowfall over the last two days. City crews and contractor graders are now mobilized to clear all priority streets within the next 72 hours.
What this means for residents:
-
Priority 1 streets (Circle Dr and streets with three+ lanes each way like Idylwyld Dr, 22nd St and College Dr.) will be cleared first, followed by Priority 2 streets (Double-lane streets like Clarence Ave, McKercher Dr and Millar Ave.) and Priority 3 streets (These streets take you through your neighbourhood like Louise Ave, Howell Ave and Main St)
Snow removal on priority streets has now been postponed until later next week to allow crews to focus on clearing fresh snowfall and maintaining safe road conditions.
Today, there will be 12 sanders, 26 graders, and seven plows working to maintain city streets. Residents are urged to use caution and be prepared for slippery roads, snow ridges, and potentially limited visibility. Watch for blue and amber flashing lights on snow maintenance equipment and give operators plenty of space to work.
