Corridor Planning - Creating Places for People
The Corridor Transformation Plan was endorsed by City Council in January 2020. The staff report and presentation can be viewed here.
As part of Saskatoon's Plan for Growth, Saskatoon's corridors will be re-imagined. In the city of our future, corridors will serve as connections between neighbourhoods and to the broader city, provide safe and convenient access to our Bus Rapid Transit system and offer housing choices and employment to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. To create this shift the City of Saskatoon is rethinking how corridors are planned for the long term, including how the land is used, how public space is designed, and how buildings are built.
Some of the objectives of Corridor Planning include:

Online questionnaire to obtain public feedback on the Corridor Planning Program policy framework. Feedback received resulted in changes to the wording of the Corridor Planning Program policy framework.
The City of Saskatoon brought together a wide range of the Plan for Growth projects to provide a significant opportunity for the public to learn about the projects and provide their thoughts. 341 people attended this multi-project engagement event. Attendees provided written comments, geographically specific markers on a map, and responses to a questionnaire on public realm, land use options, and building height. Also, comments were gathered at the event, as well as through an online survey that asked for input on identifying places of great significance, types of new business, and specific elements that would increase the desirability of living on one of the major corridors.

City staff attended eight community association meetings and spoke with over 60 community members about future growth along the corridors and walkability (as part of the walking tours).
22 people attended one of six walking tours (offered as part of the Jane’s Walk festival) that occurred along 8th Street E and 22nd Street W over two days. Together City staffed and participants discussed residential infill, potential land use changes, and identified pedestrian issues. Participants were asked to take a short online survey following the walk, which helped to capture their impressions of the area. The survey was open to all residents, not just those that attended a walking tour. In total, 57 people responded to the survey.
55 people attended outdoor pop-up style engagement events at the Dairy Queen restaurants on 8th Street E and 22nd Street W. Conversations and feedback gathered on the interactive display boards indicated support for mixed use development and pedestrian friendly streets.

City staff met with the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association, developers, and the Saskatchewan Health Authority to discuss land use changes and density.
Developers, realtors, land owners, business owners, and design professionals were among the 25 attendees that provided feedback on initial concepts for land use changes along the corridors.
City staff attended four community association meetings to discuss density and development concerns.
177 people attended this multi-project public engagement event at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Saskatoon East - University that focused on future growth of Saskatoon. The Corridor Planning Program sought out feedback on where density should occur and what level of development.

Along with Saskatoon Transit, the Corridor Planning Program set up an information booth at the Living Green Expo. It is estimated that around 100 people had a chance to stop by and discuss the future growth of Saskatoon.
Approximately 30 people discussed Corridor Growth with city staff and 12 written comments were provided. Comments strongly suggested the need for affordable grocery options, better walking experience, seniors housing, and the desire for more medical services within walking distance.
Approximately 50 people attended this open house, with the vast majority representing the development community.
