The City of Saskatoon is proposing the development of a multi-use pathway from the University of Saskatchewan to SIAST Kelsey Campus. The proposed plan includes the construction of a multi-use pathway along the south side of 33rd Street and a roundabout at the intersection of 33rd Street and Spadina Crescent. This route is proposed to be developed as a major off-road corridor that will consist of a well-designed multi-use pathway on which pedestrians and cyclists will feel safe and comfortable. When complete, the corridor will include landscape development and other amenities that will enhance the look and feel of the area.

The public is invited to attend a “come-and-go” open house on Thursday, June 2 to view and comment on the proposed 33rd Street Multi-Use Corridor Master Plan.

      Comment Sheet

Currently there are no developed pedestrian or cycling facilities along the south side of 33rd Street from 3rd Avenue to Spadina Crescent and there are safety concerns with the public using the CP Rail right-of-way as access to the community.  In addition, the intersection of Spadina Crescent and 33rd Street has no facilities linking the community with the Meewasin Valley Trail.  

Worn pathways (shown above) indicate where people are walking, and riding, to and from their destinations.  This illustrates a real need for improvements along this corridor.

Walking and cycling are the healthiest ways to get around our cities, providing valuable physical activity for people on a daily basis. These forms of active transport also generate indirect public health benefits by improving physical fitness.  By investing in, and promoting use of sidewalks, crosswalks, bike paths and lanes, we take the first steps in creating a more sustainable and healthy city.

To provide a safe and comfortable multi-purpose corridor, for pedestrians and cyclists, along 33rd Street from SIAST to Spadina Crescent and extending east to INnovation Place and the University of Saskatchewan.
