City-wide rut levelling complete, crews moving to back lanes and missed streets
February 11, 2026 - 4:01pm
City crews have completed city-wide local street rut levelling.
Work has now shifted to back lanes and streets that were not accessible during the initial pass due to a high concentration of parked vehicles. These areas will be posted with temporary parking restrictions to allow graders to complete the work safely and effectively.
This next phase is expected to take approximately one week and will be completed during the day, depending on weather and access. Since this work can't be done at night, starting tonight crews will re-initiate overnight snow removal on Priority Streets.
Residents are asked to watch for temporary parking signage and use caution around active work areas.
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-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.
