SASKATOON — Rain fell for several hours Wednesday evening leaving streets and sidewalks wet and icy Thursday morning.
Priority streets that have been snow graded were wet with slippery spots in the morning; however, streets with packed snow are very slippery. Drivers and people using the sidewalks should also use caution.
City sanders were out all night and 16 units are actively applying salt and sand this morning with a focus on major streets, bridge decks and intersections.
Please keep back when you see blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment.
Respect winter work zones for your safety and the safety of our workers. When it snows, please slow down, leave the extra room and watch for blue and amber flashing lights on-road equipment.
