City-wide street clearing complete
March 1, 2025 - 9:30am
City and Contractor crews have completed city-wide residential and industrial street clearing, with a few streets requiring additional work. These streets that were not completed during the initial grading will be inspected and may need posted parking restrictions for thorough grading. Some localized snow removal may also be necessary.
Crews have worked hard to maintain driveway access throughout the city. Small ridges of snow left behind are expected, and in most cases, vehicles can back over them. Crews will not return to clear these, but they will revisit and inspect locations where ridges are high enough to block driveway access for light vehicles. For double or triple driveways, snow piles may have reduced available driveway width but access for at least one car width has been maintained.
With warmer temperatures and ongoing snowmelt, City crews are proactively clearing snow and ice from priority drainage routes and known flooding areas. While some temporary pooling is expected, crews are prepared to respond as needed.
If you notice significant pooling or a blocked catch basin, check if it’s covered by snow or ice. Clearing it, if safe, can help drainage. If the issue persists, report it to the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 or customercare@saskatoon.ca so it can be properly prioritized.
Thanks for your patience, Saskatoon! For more information visit saskatoon.ca/snow and saskatoon.ca/snowmelt.
