The City of Saskatoon says crews are in spring cleaning mode. Over the next few weeks, people will notice potholes getting fixed and sweeping equipment starting to clean up the winter sand.
Nearly 200 seasonal staff will return to or join road maintenance crews in April, and staff have already been transitioning winter equipment to summer operations.
Crews are already using cold asphalt mix to patch potholes on high-priority streets where it’s dry enough, which is a temporary fix. By mid-April, hot mix asphalt will be available for permanent patching. That’s when the crews will also start patching temporary, gravel-filled cuts in the road caused by water main repairs in the winter months.
Over the next four weeks, they will begin initial sweeping of high-traffic roads.
Crews will start sweeping residential streets at the beginning of May.
Circle Drive sweeping begins in May.
