City continues pothole blitz, resumes residential street sweeping
A delayed spring with a late March freeze and thaw has created more cracks and potholes than usual this year. So, City crews are on pothole patrol to provide smoother and safer roadways, using hot mix asphalt for more permanent repairs.
Instances confirmed as emergency potholes are included in the locations marked as High Priority on the Report a Pothole Map, and will be addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Non-emergency pothole repairs are part of planned maintenance programs, ensuring the road network's longevity while prioritizing citizen safety and fiscal responsibility.
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for repair completion and Map updates. Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety.
Anyone that notices hazardous potholes or pavement cuts can report them to our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Explore more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
After a short delay because of rain, residential street sweeping will begin today, Wednesday May 8.
Street sweeping in the rain presents challenges: it turns dust and debris into mud, making it much harder for our street sweepers to do the best job cleaning the roads.
Scheduled street sweeping missed during the rainfall this week will be rescheduled for a later date. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to ensure the cleanliness and safety of City streets.
To ensure thorough cleaning, "No Parking" signs will be posted prior to sweeping. Your cooperation in moving parked vehicles and following the parking restrictions is greatly appreciated.
