As the end of August approaches, the City’s summer programming will be wrapping up for the season. The last day of operation for the sites are as follows:
Saskatoon road users may be noticing fresh line paint on a number of roads and crosswalks around the city. So far this construction season, 734.4 kilometres of roadway have had fresh lines painted and an additional 8.3 kilometres of durable line markings (lasting 7 to 10 years) have been applied on high traffic roads like Circle Drive and Idylwyld Drive. The city’s 1,004 crosswalks have received their first coat of paint, and 376 have also now received the second and final coat of paint for the season.
Sections of Central Avenue and connecting roadways are undergoing improvements including water and sewer upgrades, resurfacing, and water main lining. The work will entail full closures of the areas under construction and detour signage will be posted to reroute traffic.
These improvements were identified as part of the Building Better Roads plan and will help prepare the area roadways for the increased and changed traffic patterns expected following the opening of the North Commuter Parkway next year.

Extensive flooding in the basement where the mechanical equipment is located resulted in significant damage to the pumps. The City is working to assess the full extent of the damage and preparing a plan to fix all equipment so the pool will be ready to open for the 2018 season.
