Snow removal in Saskatoon has started on Priority 1 streets following the city’s completion of grading snow on all residential streets and industrial areas.
The city said there are a few problem areas that are being addressed with special equipment.
Tall snow piles along priority streets can impact visibility and are being addressed, but the city is asking motorists to continue driving with caution around intersections and crosswalks.
