Use caution on streets and sidewalks Sunday; rain, light snow and temperature drop expected
February 19, 2022 - 10:00am
With snow melting in plus temperatures Saturday afternoon and a mix of rain and light snow through the evening and into the night, and a big drop in temperature overnight, streets and sidewalks will be icy on Sunday. Please drive carefully and use caution on sidewalks and across parking lots.
City crews with sanders will be using de-icing material as needed and then sand as the temperature drops, for traction at high-traffic locations on Circle Drive, freeways and high traffic intersections.
18 sanders will be spreading de-icing materials Saturday and Sunday, focusing on Saskatoon’s highest traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections. Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.
Rut shaving in back lanes and on skipped local streets continues during the day through the weekend, with snow removal on priority streets on-going at night.
