TWO SNOW STORAGE SITES CLOSED DUE TO GROUND CONDITIONS

For immediate release: March 20, 2014 - 6:00 pm
TU14-191



The extended warmer weather and extreme melting at the City of Saskatoon snow storage sites is flooding access roads and creating slushy road conditions.  To prevent further damage to the roads the Central Avenue and Valley Road sites will be closed today until further notice.  Two sites remain open, but may experience the same conditions and be required to close.  All visitors to these sites are advised to use caution to avoid getting stuck.

The snow storage sites are located at:
Wanuskewin Road (1.4 km south of Highway 11) 
McOrmond Drive (between 8th Street East and College Drive)
Closed - Central Avenue (3.8 km north of Attridge Drive)
Closed - Valley Road (west of the Saskatoon Landfill access)
The City of Saskatoon thanks everyone for their cooperation.
