Street crews renew city streets with pothole repairs and line painting
City and contractor crews are out in full force sweeping along priority streets, with residential street sweeping starting next week. Work has also begun on repairing potholes and renewing durable line markings.
Pothole and Utility Cut Repairs
Crews are repairing potholes across the city, beginning with potholes in driving lanes along high-traffic priority streets. With the increase in temperatures, temporary cold-mix filled potholes are now being repaired permanently with hot-mix asphalt.
Please report potholes on the interactive Report a Pothole Map. To report emergency pothole locations, please phone our Customer Care Centre immediately at 306-975-2476.
Repairs to roads start next week at locations where the road was cut to access underground utilities. These cuts are bladed to keep the gravel smooth until the paving crew repairs it.
Line and Crosswalk Painting
Line and crosswalk painting is underway to keep drivers in line during their daily commute. Line painting crews paint approximately 800 kilometers of lane lines and 1,200 crosswalks, two to three times per year, depending on weather and durability.
When encountering a line painting crew on the road, please stay behind the pilot truck that follows the painting truck. The paint needs a few seconds to dry, and the operator of the truck has a limited field of view and may not see a vehicle or person in their blind spot.
