Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use caution on streets and sidewalks after mixed precipitation, dropping temperatures and blowing snow. There was a lot of moisture on the streets that froze as temperatures dropped overnight. 

City crews, including ten sanders, worked overnight applying de-icing materials focusing on Circle Drive, bridge decks and other intersections. Eight sanders will continue today applying de-icing materials on priority streets and plows will be addressing snow build-up on Circle Drive. 

Driving conditions are expected to be challenging today as wind gusts and snow continue. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and allow for extra time to get where they are going. 

Summer road maintenance activities, such as pothole patching and street sweeping, are on pause as crews address this spring snowstorm.

The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) collects and disposes of more than 11,000 needles each year. Discarded hypodermic needles are a concern at any time of the year, but spring poses a particular threat. As the snow melts, needles that were once hidden in the snow are uncovered.

In partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, members of the SFD will be out in the community in the coming weeks for an annual community needle clean-up. Residents are reminded to follow safe pick-up and disposal practices when discarding needles:

• Do not recap the needle.
• Wear garden, work or medical gloves.
• Use tweezers, pliers or tongs to pick up by the end that is not the sharp end. Keep the needle away from your body.
• Place the needle, sharp end first, into a hard container that needles cannot poke through (e.g. liquid laundry detergent or bleach container).
• Fill a container no more than 3/4 full. If a container is too full, the needles may poke through the side.
• Put the container lid on tightly and tape it.
• Wash your hands with soap and water.

Needles should never be placed in city garbage or recycling. Alternatively, needles should be placed in a designated drop box. Call 306-655-4444 to find the nearest drop box location.

If you are not comfortable handling or disposing of a needle on public property, call:

• Saskatoon Fire Department – 306-975-3030
• Public Health Services Saskatoon – 306-655-4444
