SASKATOON — Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued its first winter-like conditions of the season and, according to a City of Saskatoon press release, crews and equipment say “bring it on.”
In the event a blast arrives, roadway crews with 17 sander units and, if needed, 10 plow trucks will focus on priority streets for the morning commute with de-icing treatments, starting with Circle Drive and expressways, and will continue to maintain city streets as long as the weather persists.
When snow, freezing rain and subzero temperatures are in the forecast, road conditions can become dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles.
Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signalled by their blue and amber flashing lights. Service alerts will keep residents updated on the need for road maintenance.
