The City will be installing new traffic signals at College Drive and Hospital Drive on Sunday, October 18 as roadway corridor improvements continue in the area. The work is expected to begin at 5 a.m.

College Drive will be closed between Hospital Drive and Wiggins Avenue and access to and from RUH and JPCH will be affected. Electronic message boards and traffic detour signage will be in place to guide drivers through the work zone and through hospital entrances and exits. The restrictions will be lifted once traffic signal installation is complete late Sunday afternoon.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

The Downtown water main project continues to progress on 25th Street E.

The 2nd Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection has fully reopened to traffic, and the 6th Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is also open for westbound traffic, but with restrictions in place. Restoring access through the area as the project moves into its final phases.

Crews are continuing intersection excavation, restoration work and preparations for roadway resurfacing.

Current and upcoming intersection restrictions:

• 5th Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection will close Friday, October 16, 2026, and is expected to reopen October 30, 2026.
• 1st Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is closed and is expected to open October 20, 2026.
• 6th Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection has reopened as of October 14, 2026. Eastbound lanes remain closed and will reopen to traffic on October 23, 2026.
• 4th Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is closed and is expected to open October 23, 2026.
• 3rd Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is closed and is expected to open October 23, 2026.

Access to businesses, residences and properties is being maintained wherever possible.

As intersections reopen, some lane restrictions may remain while crews complete restoration work. Final roadway resurfacing on 25th Street will take place following completion of the remaining construction work.

The final phase of the project will include a water main replacement on 25th Street between 6th Avenue and Spadina Crescent. This work is anticipated to be completed in 2026; however, it may extend into 2027 depending on construction progress and weather conditions.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Saskatoon residents are invited to help shape the future of the city’s future transit network as Saskatoon Transit launches Phase II of the Bus Network Redesign public engagement process.

The Bus Network Redesign supports the future implementation of the Link Bus Rapid Transit network and explores how Saskatoon’s transit system can better serve a growing city through improved reliability, more direct routes and stronger transit connections. Residents are being asked to review and provide feedback on two conceptual transit network scenarios that reflect different approaches to balancing service coverage and ridership.

The engagement period runs until November 22, 2026, and includes an online survey and a series of open houses across Saskatoon seeking feedback on two conceptual plans. Residents can review the proposed concepts, ask questions of the project team and provide feedback on how the future transit network should evolve.

Feedback gathered during this phase will help Saskatoon Transit develop a recommended network design for future consideration. The conceptual plans are not final, and public input will play an important role in shaping the next phase of the project. Two additional projects are open for engagement alongside the Bus Network Redesign: a new design for bus stop signs and a proposed change to the Link Red line so it goes to Confederation Hub.

Open houses will be held throughout the city between October 19 and November 14, including locations at Rusty MacDonald Library, Centre Mall, Place Riel, Confederation Mall, City Hall, Cliff Wright Library and Saskatoon Sports Centre.

Residents can learn more, review project materials and complete the survey at Bus Network Redesign | Engage.

An information report presented today at the Governance and Priorities Committee meeting of City Council illustrates how the Downtown Event and Entertainment District (the District) has been considered through public Council processes for more than a decade.

The District is more than a future arena/event centre. It is a long-term vision for a vibrant, inclusive and welcoming downtown that would bring together entertainment venues, convention facilities, public spaces, cultural amenities, transportation connections and supporting infrastructure to create a destination for residents and visitors alike.

The discussions began in 2016 after the SaskTel Centre identified the facility was aging and facing increasing challenges in meeting industry expectations and remaining competitive in attracting major events. Since April 2016, nearly 50 public reports have been presented to City Council and the Governance and Priorities Committee.

“The work to date has been intensive,” says Dan Willems, Director of Technical Services. “It has included market analysis, public engagement, site selection, conceptual design, land assembly, funding analysis, planning and partnership development. We’ve been in front of Council many times over the last ten years as the project has moved forward to make sure the project has been considered through public and transparent discussions and decisions.”

Key Council decisions have included:

• 2018: Council directed Administration to plan for a future downtown arena, convention centre and entertainment district.
• 2021: Council confirmed the District and bus rapid transit (now known as Link) as City priorities and directed work on funding options, public engagement, Indigenous partnerships and sustainability.
• 2022: Following public engagement on site selection, Council selected the Midtown Shopping Centre north parking lot as the preferred site for a future event centre/arena.
• 2024: Council approved the District’s initial funding strategy, and Saskatoon’s City Centre and District Plan as a framework for future implementation.
• 2026: Council directed Administration to explore a potential strategic partnership with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation.

The District could include a renovated and expanded TCU Place and theatre, a future event centre to replace SaskTel Centre, parkade and improvements to streets, parks, utilities and public spaces.

The vision has been structured in a manner that allows portions of the project to move forward in phases due to physical site requirements and because funding is expected to be achieved in phases. The first phase is anticipated to include underground and public realm improvements, followed by TCU Place renovation/expansion including construction of more than 500 underground parking stalls; followed later by the construction of the event centre (SaskTel Centre replacement).

The City is working to secure funding from other orders of government and is exploring partnership opportunities. Detailed design and construction cannot proceed until a funding plan is approved by City Council.

Any future decisions related to funding, partnership agreements, project scope and construction will require further consideration and approval by City Council through public meetings.
