City-wide local street rut levelling nearing completion
February 9, 2026 - 2:30pm
City crews have worked around the clock since city-wide local street rut levelling was initiated Thursday evening to address deep ruts caused by melting and refreezing.
Crews are on track to complete city-wide local street rut levelling Tuesday night. Once this phase is complete, crews will shift focus to back lanes and local streets that were skipped as they require temporary parking restrictions due to a high concentration of parked vehicles. These streets will be posted with temporary parking restrictions and graded.
Operations will continue to adjust as conditions allow, with crews prioritizing mobility and safety. Priority street snow removal remains paused during this work. Residents are asked to use caution around active work zones and consider parking off-street where possible to support remaining work.
More information on winter road maintenance and a list of scheduled and completed neighbourhoods is available at saskatoon.ca/snow. Residents with concerns about specific locations are encouraged to contact the Customer Care Centre at Customercare@saskatoon.ca or (306) 975-2476.
City crews and winter equipment ready for freezing rain
February 8, 2026 - 11:45am
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for Saskatoon. Freezing rain is expected to end later today and turn into snow.
Freezing rain is anticipated to cause slippery conditions and visibility issues on Saskatoon streets. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution on the streets and sidewalks.
Sanding trucks will be focusing on applying de-icing materials to Circle Drive, freeways, high traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections throughout the day and into the evening. Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.

Update: City-wide local street rut levelling
February 6, 2026 - 2:57pm
Crews are continuing with their city-wide local street rut levelling efforts to improve mobility and address deep ruts caused by recent melting and refreezing.
Several neighbourhoods have already been completed, and crews are making steady progress across the city. Work will continue over the coming days, with priorities based on neighbourhood street conditions, mobility needs and collection schedules.
Priority street snow removal remains paused while crews focus on local streets. Back lanes will be addressed next week after levelling of residential streets is completed.
Residents are asked to use caution around active work zones. Please watch for blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment and give crews space to work safely.
A list of the neighbourhoods scheduled for rut levelling is available at saskatoon.ca/snow, and will be updated as crews progress throughout the city. Residents with concerns about specific locations are encouraged to contact the Customer Care Centre at Customercare@saskatoon.ca or (306) 975-2476.

Snow and ice management update – plan for residential streets
February 5, 2026 - 10:00pm
With recent warm weather and below zero temperatures in the forecast, deep ruts and water pooling have developed on streets in residential neighborhoods. To address mobility challenges which are expected to worsen with the drop in temperatures, the City is undertaking a city-wide rut levelling on local streets with City crews and Contractor support, starting tonight.
The work is expected to take approximately 5 days to complete city-wide with priority street snow removal to be paused.
There are approximately 24 graders mobilized to be on the road tonight in residential areas based on conditions and coordinated with the collection schedules, and crews will move into other affected neighborhoods when the collection schedules allow.
Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights.
Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles.
