February 12 – More neighbourhoods added to City’s rut shaving schedule

After assessing the progress of rut shaving on city residential streets since this work started on Thursday, the City is adding more neighbourhoods for February 12-14 to the website schedule.

There are now 34 neighbourhoods on the next outlook schedule where City and contractor crews will either be completed, be in progress or have started within the extended period. That includes after midnight on the February 14 night shift.

Please refer to saskatoon.ca/snow regularly for the latest schedule. For the most part, this information will be updated once daily by 7:30 a.m.; however, we may add neighbourhoods based on progress.

Important messages for residents:

• All residential streets in these neighbourhoods will have rut shaving.
• Grader operators will go around parked vehicles but we encourage people to move them if there is off-street parking available.
• As graders shave off the top layers of ruts the snow will be stored in the parking lane.
• Please don't push snow from your property or sidewalk onto the street as it creates more issues for drivers and can delay rut shaving.
• If a street is too narrow due to parked vehicles, it will be skipped and be scheduled for another day. Watch for No Parking signs with an upcoming date for grading.
• Completed streets will be inspected within 24 hours and repairs will occur within a few days where a snow ridge extends across a driveway and is more than 15 centimetres (6 inches) deep.

Thank you for your patience and leaving space for our operators and equipment to safely do their work.
