City crews maintain road conditions while keeping eyes on snowfall

Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting up to five centimetres of snow throughout the day today, tapering off in the evening. This amount of snow can quickly create challenging driving conditions, including slippery sections on high-traffic routes.

City crews will be on the streets during the day. The sanding and salting trucks will manage icy sections while plows and graders will clear snow as it accumulates on priority routes.

Once the snowfall ends the City will determine if contractor crews need to join City crews to assist with grading and plowing of priority streets.

Snow maintenance equipment will remain active until priority routes are graded. Drivers are asked to watch for blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment and give operators the room they need to work safely.

Residents can follow progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow, and the latest Snow & Ice Report is posted at saskatoon.ca/SnowReport.
