Saskatoon fall street sweeping starts Oct. 13 in 10 neighbourhoods

Saskatoon's annual fall street sweeping begins Oct. 13, the City of Saskatoon said, with crews heading to 10 of the city's leafiest neighbourhoods to clear leaves and cut the risk of spring flooding.¹

The neighbourhoods on this year's list are Nutana, Holiday Park, Varsity View, Mayfair, Buena Vista, Riversdale, City Park, King George, Exhibition and Caswell Hill. You can check when your street is scheduled at saskatoon.ca/sweep.¹

Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager, said leaves that pile up along streets can clog storm drains and catch basins, which are the grates that take rainwater off the road.¹

Leaves that accumulate along streets can clog storm drains and catch basins, creating a risk of flooding when the snow melts. By sweeping the leafiest streets before winter, we help protect City infrastructure and keep neighbourhoods safer and cleaner for everyone.¹Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager, City of Saskatoon

Before the sweep, the city asks you to clear leaves from sidewalks and boulevards next to your property, and not to pile them in the street. Large leaf piles can slow down street sweepers. You can use a green cart or take leaves to a City compost depot.¹

During the sweep, watch for temporary yellow No Parking signs and move vehicles from the street by 7:00 a.m. (7 a.m.) on your sweep day. Vehicles left in signed areas may be ticketed or towed.¹

If a vehicle is towed, use the Find My Vehicle! tool or contact the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Weather or other factors may affect the sweeping schedule, and the city says to follow along on its social media channels.¹
