With more spring-like temperatures finally arriving, the roads are drying up enough for street sweeping and pothole repairs.
The City of Saskatoon reports the road maintenance programs are 3 to 4 weeks behind the average year, because of late snowfalls.
Director of Roadways and Operations, Brandon Harris says Thursday was the first day of using the permanent hot-mix asphalt on the pothole repairs, now that the weather has warmed up enough to do so.
To catch up, City crews will work longer days over the next 2 weeks and through the weekend, repairing potholes.
Harris cautions that roads in general will still be bumpy and dusty on the non high priority streets for a few weeks.
City-wide residential street sweeping will begin May 7th, weather permitting.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
