Thank you to all attendees of our first community meeting and to those who sent in transportation concerns for the Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Neighbourhood Traffic review. The Transportation Division will use this feedback along with traffic data and field observations to develop a Draft Neighbourhood Traffic Plan with recommendations. Stay tuned for updates on the second community meeting. Community residents will be invited to join us to review the draft plan.

If you were unable to attend the first community meeting or would like to revisit what was discussed, see the Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Meeting #1 Minutes and Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Meeting #1 Recording.

The scope of the Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Neighbourhood Traffic Review is the local and collector roads in the study area.

Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Traffic Issues and Other Projects

In the past, neighbourhood transportation issues were addressed on a less effective case-by-case basis. The City of Saskatoon started Neighbourhood Traffic Reviews so that traffic engineers had the opportunity to consider the traffic patterns of a neighbourhood holistically.

A complete list of the Neighbourhood Traffic Reviews undertaken to date is available at saskatoon.ca/NTR.

Study Area Map for Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial

This map displays the study area for the Gordie Howe, West Industrial and Southwest Industrial Neighbourhood Traffic Review.

Welcome! We’re pleased that you want to participate in discussions about area traffic concerns. We ask that you please read the following before posting any comments.

This is the City of Saskatoon’s Engage page for the 2020 Neighbourhood Traffic Review in the Gordie Howe Management Area, West Industrial, and Southwest Industrial area. This page is for residents of these neighbourhoods inclusively.

The Neighbourhood Traffic Review process works like this:

1. The City gathers input from residents regarding transportation concerns on local and collector streets (scope excludes main arterials);
2. City transportation engineers investigate the issues identified by residents, including gathering traffic counts and observing traffic behaviours;
3. A comprehensive traffic plan is developed to address concerns;
4. The traffic plan is shared at a public meeting and on this Engage page;
5. The traffic plan is adopted and the City proceeds to implement the measures identified within the plan (subject to budgetary approvals):
6. Signage may be installed as early as the spring or summer after the report is finalized (pedestrian crosswalks, no parking, stop and yield, speed signs);
7. Traffic calming measures may be temporarily installed as early as the spring or summer after the report is finalized, until proven effective. If proven effective, the measures will be installed permanently when funding is available;
8. Sidewalks or any other permanent measures may be installed when funding is available.

You are encouraged to use this space to speak on area traffic concerns, but to do so respectfully. The City reserves the right to block, ban, or remove anyone from the Group who is threatening or abusive to others, or leaves inappropriate posts.

We look forward to great discussions in this space. Visit saskatoon.ca/NTR for more information about the City of Saskatoon Neighbourhood Traffic Review process.
