Priority 2 roads like arterials with double lanes and Saskatoon Transit routes will be graded within 48 hours after a snowstorm ends. This includes streets like Clarence Ave, McKercher Dr and Millar Ave.
Priority 3 roads like collector streets, remaining Business Improvement District streets and school zones will be completed within 72 hours after a snowstorm ends. These include streets like Louise Ave, Howell Ave and Main St.
The city provides an online map showing snow grading progress here.
Keep your sidewalks clear
Saskatoon residents must clear sidewalks within 48 hours after a snowfall, and snow should not be shovelled into the street, but onto your property.
Non-residential properties are expected to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall. Sidewalks should have at least 1.2 metres of cleared width and have minimal snow pack (less than 3 cm), according the the City of Saskatoon.
Cleared sidewalks should be free of any loose snow or debris and must not present a hazard nor be a hindrance to pedestrian traffic regardless of their mobility.
The city will clear sidewalks next to city-owned facilities, pedestrian overpasses, bridge walkways and high-pedestrian downtown sidewalks with built-in trees and landscaping, asphalt park pathways with street lighting are cleared within 48 hours after a snowstorm ends.
Uncleared sidewalks can be reported online here or leave a voicemail at 306-657-8766. All sidewalk complaints are investigated, according to the city.
If necessary, a bylaw inspector will issue a notice requiring the resident to clear their sidewalk within 24 or 48 hours, depending on the type of property. If the sidewalks still are not cleared within the deadline, a third-party contractor will do so and the cost will charged to the property owner.
