Boulevard Garden end of season clean up
October 8, 2021 - 9:34am
It’s the time of year to remove temporary materials such as garden pots and containers, bird baths, and ornaments from Boulevard Gardens to reduce the risk of damage to both the garden and snow removal equipment. Any materials left on site over winter may be damaged or destroyed by snow removal, snow storage, or other road operations. Residents must remove temporary materials from the garden site by October 15, 2021.
Boulevard Gardens are public, City-owned spaces beside local streets that are planted and maintained by residents. Boulevard Gardens can grow food and community, add beauty to neighbourhoods, provide habitat, and help manage storm water.
Find more information about Boulevard Gardens including where gardens are permitted, what approvals are required, what types of gardens are allowed, and the expectations for maintenance visit: saskatoon.ca/boulevards.
Sweeping on Saskatoon’s leafiest street begins Tuesday, October 12
October 8, 2021 - 9:59am
- Pick up leaves on the sidewalk and boulevard beside your property. Please don’t push leaves onto the street because big piles of leaves slow down sweeping.
- Put loose leaves in your green cart or take them to a compost depot. Bagged leaves can go in your black cart.
- Watch for yellow No Parking signs and move your car by 7 a.m. on your sweep day. Refer to Find My Vehicle! to locate your vehicle if it was towed or call our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476.
Street sweeping will start after the Thanksgiving long weekend, weather pending. Fallen leaves are plentiful in some of Saskatoon’s oldest neighourhoods and can plug catch basins causing flooding in the spring.
The main purpose of the fall sweep is to reduce the risk of flooding by cleaning up the leaves along the curb. Another benefit of fall sweeping is that it improves the efficiency of the spring clean-up.
Only the leafiest streets in these neighbourhoods are included: Buena Vista, Caswell Hill, City Park, Exhibition, Holiday Park, King George, Mayfair, Nutana, Riversdale and Varsity View. The streets being swept this fall were selected based on their flooding risk and density of tree canopy. Find your sweep day at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
Like residential street sweeping in the spring, temporary parking restrictions will be enforced with ticketing and towing as required.
How you can help us
Service Alerts will be issued for any unexpected changes that may affect the sweeping schedule, such as weather. Find more information at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
