What is the Project About?

The City of Saskatoon is reviewing the intersection of 22^nd Street West and Confederation Drive to identify a permanent design that addresses the safety and operational issues that exist in the eastbound direction.

Why Are We Doing This Work?

This location has long-standing concerns with the operation of vehicles attempting to maneuver from Fairmont Drive to turn left from 22nd Street eastbound to Confederation Drive northbound. Several measures have been implemented, and ultimately removed, along 22nd Street to prevent this movement. These include concrete barriers, low profile barrier, and Tuff Curb with delineator posts. These temporary measures were not effective at resolving the conflicting movements.

Through previous projects, the Community has requested a formalized eastbound right turn lane between Fairmont Drive and Confederation Drive to access the Circle Drive southbound on-ramp.

Multiple improvements are being proposed to address these issues, including:

• The construction of an eastbound slotted left turn bay at the intersection of 22nd Street West and Confederation Drive,
• A formalized eastbound right turn lane at the intersection of 22^nd Street West and Confederation Drive to access the Circle Drive southbound on-ramp,
• Construction of a shared-use pathway on the south side of 22nd Street West,
• Relocating the existing guide sign on the south side of 22^nd Street that will be impacted by the proposed changes, and
• Changes to the road alignment and traffic control at the intersection of 22^nd Street West and Fairmont Drive.
