Crews mobilized for cleanup after blowing snow hits city

Contractor crews joined the City snow maintenance team yesterday to maintain mobility on Saskatoon streets. After 11 cm of snow accumulated throughout the day, along with high winds, the City has declared a snow event.

The City has 30 graders, 6 plows and 15 sanders which are focused on clearing and maintaining Priority 1 routes, including Circle Drive and major arterials. There are 9 sidewalk plows clearing City facility sidewalks, the Meewasin Trail, pathways along freeways and arterials in addition to bridge/overpass walkways which will be cleared within 48 hours.

Residents are reminded to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and to give road maintenance equipment the space needed to operate safely, especially during periods of reduced visibility.

During a Snow Event, residents can track progress using the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information about winter road maintenance and service levels is available at saskatoon.ca/snow. The latest Snow & Ice Report is posted at saskatoon.ca/SnowReport.

Saskatoon Transit will continue to monitor conditions and adjust service as needed. Delays or disruptions may occur due to collisions, drifting snow or inaccessible bus stops. Riders are encouraged to check Saskatoon Transit service alerts, use third-party apps such as Transit or Google Transit, and enable route notifications for real-time updates.

Information on any other impacted City services is available at saskatoon.ca/servicealerts.
