Many parts of Saskatchewan will be hit with another round of wintery weather on Saturday, and Regina is no exception, with up to 25 centimetres of snow expected to accumulate by Sunday.
The City of Regina released their snowfall response plan ahead of the chilly chaos, outlining how they will tackle roads and sidewalks.
According to their plan released on social media, crews will be out plowing priority roads during “storm mode,” when the snow starts to fall. Those priority roads include emergency routes, major intersections, high speed roads, and transit stops.
During storm mode, crews will also perimeter roads susceptible to drifting. Sidewalk plowing will also take place, as well as ice control on high traffic roads. Crews will also fill sandboxes during the first mode.
Within 24-36 hours of the snowfall ending, crews will head into a systematic plow phase. This will include plowing of high traffic roads, hospital routes, transit routes, downtown streets, bike lanes, and begin sidewalk plowing.
