Snow grading and snow removal update; crews continue to assess conditions

Snow has been graded on all priority streets in Saskatoon. Snow removal began last night in Business Improvement Districts (BIDS) and school zones, and all snow in school zones is expected to be removed before Monday morning. 

Snow removal in BIDS is expected to take up to 6 nights, after which crews will shift their focus to removing snow from priority streets. Crews are also continuing their work cleaning up throughout the city, including bus stops and other localized areas of concern. 

Crews are continuing a city-wide assessment of local street conditions. Areas identified with excessive rutting or mobility issues are being addressed, and assessments will continue throughout the winter and into spring. Please note, plans may adjust if additional snow accumulates. 

As snow clearing efforts continue across Saskatoon, let’s work together to keep our community safe and accessible. Please be mindful of walkways and driveways and do your part in keeping them clear for everyone. 

Snow piles can hide dangerous hazards and may obstruct equipment working in the area. Parents and guardians are asked to ensure children stay away from snow piles to avoid potential risks. 

Please remember: snow that’s pushed or blown onto the streets can block mobility and create safety concerns for drivers and pedestrians. We all play a role in keeping our roads safe, so kindly avoid placing snow back onto the streets.
