The City of Saskatoon is taking a proactive approach to prevent severe ice and snow rutting on residential and industrial streets during the spring melt by launching a city-wide snow clearing of these streets, starting this weekend. As spring approaches, the warmer temperatures can result in melting during the day and freezing overnight, and combined with the current snowpack on streets, this creates potential conditions for severe ruts and mobility challenges.  

To prevent deep ruts from forming, crews will begin blading all residential and industrial streets throughout the day and night, starting in the outer areas and core of the City, maximizing operational efficiency and working their way through the neighbourhoods . Work is expected to take up to a week, with some final cleanup needing more time to complete. 

Graders will clear packed snow from the streets, storing it in the parking lane while avoiding piling snow on catch basins whenever feasible for the upcoming spring melt. Residents are encouraged to move vehicles off-street where possible to allow for more effective clearing. On select narrow streets, where snow storage is no longer possible, crews may need to remove snow after blading. 

While snow clearing takes place day and night on residential and industrial streets, overnight snow removal on priority streets will continue. Some streets may be temporarily narrowed as snow piles grow, but this work will keep roads safe and passable. 

More details will be posted at saskatoon.ca/snow as they become available.
