This week's snowstorm has made snow removal a hot (or cold) topic with Saskatoon's civic election set to conclude tomorrow. "This is a very, very clear lack of planning and preparedness," said candidate Rob Norris. "It's a different contract that's done on its own [with] separate timelines and priorities based on the other, you know, the street clearing and snow clearing," he said. "We have almost doubled the snow clearing budget from $6.8 million in 2010 to $13.4 million in 2020," Clark said. Clark said the cost to expand snow clearing and removal to residential streets would be significant.
