The City of Saskatoon says crews have shaved off the top layer of snow ruts on all streets in several neighbourhoods Friday and throughout the night into Saturday morning. Today (sat), 26 graders will finish neighbourhoods that weren’t completed last night along with making their way into a number of communities that haven’t been cleared yet over the next few days including Forest Grove, Pacific Heights, King George, Lawson Heights and Mayfair. The City says completed streets will be inspected within 24 hours and repairs will occur within a few days where a snow ridge extends across a driveway and is more than 15 centimetres deep.

Below is a list of the neighbourhoods that will see crews begin rut shaving over the next few days:

Adelaide/Churchill
Arbor Creek
Brighton
College Park
Confederation Park

Forest Grove

King George
Lawson Heights

Important messages for residents:

1. All residential streets in these neighbourhoods will have rut shaving.
2. Grader operators will go around parked vehicles but we encourage people to move them if there is off-street parking available.
3. As graders shave off the top layers of ruts the snow will be stored in the parking lane.
4. If a street is too narrow due to parked vehicles, it will be skipped and be scheduled for another day. Watch for No Parking signs with an upcoming date for grading.
5. Completed streets will be inspected within 24 hours and repairs will occur within a few days where a snow ridge extends across a driveway and is more than 15 centimetres (6 inches) deep.

Thank you for your patience and leaving space for our operators and equipment to safely do their work.
