Saskatoon snow update: Grading, removal and sidewalks

Snow grading has been completed on all Priority 1 and 2 streets, and most Priority 3 streets are also finished. Crews are now focusing on cleaning up Business Improvement Districts (BIDS) and finishing school zones, with snow removal in these areas beginning tonight. 

In addition, crews are addressing localized areas of concern and any missed sections. Overnight, snow was cleared from ramps on Circle Drive bridges and overpasses, and this work will continue tonight. 

The City is also seeing improvements in mobility on residential streets, as snow continues to pack down and stabilize, making travel easier for all. The City would also like to remind residents to avoid clearing snow from residential roadways on their own or hiring private contractors. 

Skid steers are clearing snow from accessible loading zones on priority streets, as well as bus stops, to maintain access for residents. Contractor crews will continue to clear sidewalks throughout the city. 

Let’s continue to be good neighbours—look out for each other, keep walkways and driveways clear. Please remember that snow piles can be dangerous for children to play on or dig in, as they may conceal hidden hazards and equipment may be working on or near them at any time. Parents and guardians are urged to keep children safe by avoiding these areas.  

A reminder to all residents: Please avoid blowing or pushing snow onto the streets. This can obstruct mobility for everyone and create potential safety risks for drivers and pedestrians alike. 

To stay updated on the city’s snow clearing progress, residents can monitor the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. For more information on winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow. Be sure to check the latest Snow & Ice Report on saskatoon.ca/SnowReport for up-to-date service alerts.
