SASKATOON — City crews will be completing the ongoing cycles of mowing and litter cleanup along expressways starting Friday, April 1.
Work along expressways will continue to Oct. 1, and motorists are reminded to slow down in work zones for the safety of crews working adjacent to expressways.
Motorists, especially those who are driving trucks, are also reminded to cover and secure their cargo when driving on expressways.
Unsecured cargo is the main cause of expressway litter and drivers can be subject to ticketing, as per Waste Bylaw 8310.
Securing cargo is not only important for protecting your vehicle and the items that you are carrying, but it also helps prevent dangerous accidents.
You are encouraged to use ratchet straps, bungee cords, and or tarps depending on what you are carrying. This will help to secure your cargo, minimize litter and help keep everyone safe on the road.
The City of Saskatoon thanks all drivers for their cooperation.
