The City of Saskatoon has declared a Snow Event with 15 centimetres of snow accumulation this morning. Snow clearing activities will focus on driving lanes and warmer temperatures this afternoon and tomorrow will shorten the clean-up period as the snow melts.

24 graders and 4 plows are working to clear snow from priority streets like freeways, arterial roads and collector streets. Snow will be stored on medians, boulevards and parking lanes to maintain mobility. 10 sanders are working to improve traction in icy areas, and 6 sidewalk plows are active clearing City-owned pathways and sidewalks.

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 and use third-party apps such as Transit or Google Transit with route notifications enabled for real-time updates.

Drivers should adjust driving habits by slowing down and increasing following distances between vehicles. Watch for blue and yellow flashing lights on road equipment and give operators the space they need to operate.

The status of snow clearing throughout the city can be monitored through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s level of service, can be found at saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay in the know by checking the latest Snow & Ice Report posted to saskatoon.ca/snowreport.

Spring is here, which means City workers are starting to ramp up maintenance activities for the more than 2,000 hectares of park and open spaces in Saskatoon. Seasonal workers returned mid-April and the park clean-up process will continue until mid-May.

Spring park maintenance activities include:

• Park clean-up, consisting mainly of litter control and removal of branches and leaves from turf areas and shrub beds. 
• Pumping out spring run-off in low-lying areas in parks and green spaces. 
• Sweeping park-front sidewalks and boulevards where grass, trees and/or flowerpots are located. Full-size street sweepers will follow the same path after to collect the debris left behind on the road. 
• Grooming of crusher dust trails in naturalized park areas to remove the ruts from run-off and other winter activities will begin once the trails have fully dried.
• Collecting litter and beginning of mowing cycles to over 400 hectares of open space areas along Circle Drive and other major freeways.
• Emptying of garbage receptacles will increase to at least once a week, at the beginning of May.
• The Sports Field program is gearing up for the May 1 (weather dependent) start date for various sport user groups. Preparations include infield grooming of the softball/baseball diamonds, turf inspection, litter/garbage control and field line painting.

Residents are reminded that a Park Access Permit is required to access private property from a City park to complete all work including landscaping, construction, tree removal, renovations and building a deck, fence or pool. Homeowners and contractors can request a permit by completing the online application form at least one week prior to the date required. Visit saskatoon.ca/parkaccess to access the form and more information on park access requirements.
