Update on City snow crew operations
City crews, with contractor assistance, have been working through the night as the storm brought an additional 13 cm of snow. Crews are addressing the snow accumulation and applying de-icing material to bridge decks and the driving lanes of major roads such as Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive, College Drive, and Attridge Drive.
What you can expect from us
Crews will continue to prioritize the driving lanes of emergency routes, Circle Drive and other expressways and major arterial roads while the snowfall continues. Today, there are 28 graders, 8 snow plows, and 15 sanders working on Saskatoon’s streets.
Once the snow stops, crews will proceed to address the following routes:
- Saskatoon Transit routes as well as double lane streets like Clarence Avenue, McKercher Drive, and Millar Avenue.
- Streets in school zones and in Business Improvement Districts, and streets that connect neighbourhoods.
- City facility sidewalks, Meewasin Trail, pathways along major routes, and walkways over bridges and overpasses.
How you can help us
- Drivers should anticipate winter driving conditions and adjust their driving. This includes slowing down and allowing more space between vehicles.
- Report icy conditions – particularly those at intersections and on/off ramps – to the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 or customercare@saskatoon.ca.
- When you see the blue and amber flashing lights of snow crews, please give them lots of room to do their work.
