Saskatoon Transit prepared for full buses as students head back to class
September 1, 2023 - 5:15pm
- Adjust your departure time. Busier routes will have some increased frequency at peak times. If your regular bus is nearly full when you ride in August, consider taking the earlier or later bus to avoid a full bus. The bus that drops students off just prior to the start of class tends to be busier than the earlier or next bus.
- Use tracking and watch for service alerts. Saskatoon Transit has real-time tracking through third party apps like Transit and Google Maps on desktop. Real-time transit tracking shows you where your bus is and when the next bus arrives, which limits wait times at bus stops. Pin your preferred routes for service alert push notifications.
- Be prepared to board. Have your fare ready, app open and be ready to quickly find a seat.
- Remove backpacks. Make space for people.
Saskatoon Transit anticipates buses filling up on busy routes during peak commute times beginning Tuesday, September 5 as students head back to school and summer vacations wrap up. Saskatoon Transit is prepared to provide a reliable service heading into the busiest season of the year, having made many improvements to its maintenance and operations over the past year.
When possible, larger capacity articulating buses will be used on the routes with high schools and post-secondary institutions, and three additional buses will be standing by to be deployed as needed. At this time last year, ridership numbers compared to pre-pandemic rates and some routes experienced full buses.
Tips for public transit riders
When a bus is full, the head sign will read “Full Bus” and the operator will drive past bus stops - even when riders are waiting - until there is space for more people. During peak times, more than 80 buses are running to get people to their destinations. Real time tracking and ongoing communication with the bus helps Saskatoon Transit staff determine where more service is needed.
Student discounts
You can now purchase discounted high school and post-secondary passes on your mobile device with TGo and Transit apps. Post-secondary students must show their proof of enrollment at the Customer Service Centre downtown for the discount to be available in the app. Students attending the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Saskatchewan receive a U-PASS included with tuition. Learn more about mobile tickets for students at saskatoontransit/student.

Pruning ban for elm trees ends today
September 1, 2023 - 9:00am
The province-wide pruning ban for elm trees ends today, Friday, September 1. The pruning ban is in place each year from April 1 to August 31 to ensure that elm bark beetles, which transmit Dutch elm disease (DED), are not attracted to freshly pruned trees when the beetles are most active.
Provincial regulations also prohibit the storing, transport and use of elm wood for any purpose. This includes firewood, wood chips, wood slabs and branches. The only permitted movement of elm wood is to the City’s designated disposal site at the City Landfill.
Elm trees make up about 25% of Saskatoon's urban forest. This summer, the City confirmed multiple cases of DED in Sutherland, Forest Grove and Pleasant Hill areas. As part of the City's DED Response Plan, the infected trees were immediately removed and disposed of at the City Landfill. The City will continue surveillance and testing of public and private elm trees in the surrounding areas with an intensive search for elm material and other sources of infection.
The most effective management strategy for DED is to not transport or store elm wood. Infected firewood is the most likely way that DED would spread in Saskatoon. In addition, keeping elm trees healthy by regularly watering and properly removing and disposing of dead and dying branches will deter the elm bark beetle from finding suitable habitat.
How to identify and report unhealthy elm trees
American elm trees with DED may start showing symptoms as early as June. Typically, the leaves will start to wilt and turn yellow out of season from June to mid-August, then curl and turn brown. Anyone suspecting that an elm tree is unhealthy is encouraged to complete the online form at saskatoon.ca/dutchelmdisease or call Urban Forestry at 306-975-2890.
By following the provincial regulations and maintaining elm trees on your private property, all residents can help prevent the spread of DED in Saskatoon.
For more information on DED, visit saskatoon.ca/dutchelmdisease

- Exemption of City properties from the City storm charge for 2024 and 2025

Following another Special Budget Meeting today, City Council’s Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) has further reduced the projected funding gap in the 2024/2025 Multi-Year Budget, with additional opportunities to shrink the gap still to come.
Through today’s decisions, the projected funding gap has been further reduced by a total of $3.15 million in 2024 and $554,000 in 2025. If left unmitigated, which is unlikely, the current funding gap would equate to a property tax increase of 7.47% in 2024 and 5.93% in 2025.
GPC completed its discussion on administration-recommended options within several business line reports at today’s meeting and recommended the following budget options be integrated into the 2024/2025 Preliminary 2024/2025 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget:
An additional Special Budget Meeting has been scheduled for September 20, at which time additional options that were not recommended by Administration are expected to be discussed, as well as the Utilities Business Line report. Council is also awaiting draft budget submissions from the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners and the Saskatoon Library Board.
Administration will continue to refine and adjust numbers for the budget book which will be presented at the 2024/2025 Business Plan and Budget meeting in late November.

Winterization of park irrigation systems begins September 1
August 31, 2023 - 10:30am
On September 1, City crews begin the annual winterization of the 480 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks and along roadway streetscapes. Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure.
Irrigation winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation system, removing any residual water so it will not freeze within the underground pipes. The force of compressed air exiting through sprinkler heads may pick up and propel debris within the work zone.
To ensure public safety, residents are asked to follow all signage at work sites, and to stay clear of all sprinkler heads, compressor units and related winterization equipment in the parks during maintenance.
The winterization process is expected to take seven weeks. For more information, visit saskatoon.ca/parkmaintenance.

Lane restrictions at 23rd Steet East for confined space rescue practice
August 31, 2023 - 8:00am
- Don't put garbage or needles down grates or manholes as they cause a danger to SL&P workers.
- For your safety, stay clear of the area when utility workers are working in the area. Sidewalk closures can be a pain, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Saskatoon Light & Power and Saskatoon Fire Department will be practicing confined space rescue in the electrical vault located on 23rd Street East beside Crestview Auto Service over the next two weeks. These drills are performed to ensure worker and public safety in the event of a true emergency.
Rescue practice sessions will be held on September 1, 8, 13, and 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. daily.
There will be lane restrictions in place to ensure safety and guide motorists around the work zone. Pedestrians are asked to avoid the area for their own safety.
There are over 20 electrical vaults in the downtown area of Saskatoon that are designed to hold the equipment needed to power the city’s downtown core. The grates and concrete covering the vaults are constructed for people and equipment to be able to walk or drive over.

1.4 million cubic metres of snow stored at the three snow management facilities at the Civic Operations Centre, along Wanuskewin Drive and Central Avenue. This is approximately four times the amount of snow stored at the snow management facilities in years leading up to 2020.
-
500 crew days of effort to remove snow piles on local streets.
-
A typical day during snow removal included 150 haul trucks, 32 graders, 18 loaders, 4 snow blowers, 12 skid steers, 10 pilot trucks, seven dozers, 11 tow trucks and much more light equipment.
-
27 contracting companies provided additional resources including haul trucks, loaders, snow blowers, dozers and graders. Nearly all contractors that submitted interest and pricing for local street snow removal were hired.
An information report to be presented to City Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Transportation on September 5 details how the City successfully navigated an extraordinary emergency snow event in December 2022 with an equally extraordinary response.
The City’s Roadways Emergency Response Plan for Extreme or Unusual Snow Events was activated for the very first time on December 28, 2022, after back-to-back snow events between December 25 and 28. The snowfall resulted in over 30 centimetres of snow accumulation and severely impacted mobility on streets and sidewalks. This was in addition to four previous snow events earlier in the winter season.
Once the response plan was activated, snow grading along all streets in Saskatoon was completed within eight days of the end of snowfall, faster than the targeted timeline of 10 days, while snow removal along Priority 2 and 3 streets was completed within 5 weeks– the fastest this work has ever been completed. All snow removal work was completed within approximately 9 weeks.
“Our response to the late 2022 snowfall showcased our commitment to the safety and the well-being of our residents,” says Goran Saric, Director of Roadways, Fleet and Support. “The City of Saskatoon remains steadfast in its dedication to providing efficient services while adapting and improving to better serve its citizens.”
Highlights from 2022/23 ERP activation include:
“The successful handling of the significant snow events stands as a testament to the City’s commitment to meeting challenges head-on, learning from experiences and continuously improving its emergency response capabilities,” says Saric.
The total cost of the 2022/23 emergency snow response was $18 million dollars, more than the annual operating budget for Snow and Ice Management. Nearly 90% of the cost was for the city-wide snow removal phase.

Mid-year financials project a strong, balanced 2023 budget: restrictions to hiring, spending key
August 30, 2023 - 4:00pm
- Utilities are projecting a $5.3 million net surplus at mid-year. Any utility variance will be offset through transfers to or from the applicable stabilization reserves, if this surplus is realized, contributions will be made to the respective reserves.
- The City continues to experience inflationary impacts in 2023 including increased costs on contracts. The City can stay within budget by decreasing the amount of work to be completed.
The City of Saskatoon is on track to deliver a balanced budget for 2023. The City’s 2023 Mid-Year Financial Performance Administrative Report will be presented to SPC Finance on September 6, 2023.
“In analyzing the mid-year forecast, we estimate that at the end of this fiscal year, the Administration will deliver a balanced budget for 2023,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance. “Our mid-year forecast is based on the most current information known to the Administration at the time of preparing this report.”
Each year, the City of Saskatoon’s Administration provides the mid-year, third-quarter and year-end reports to the Standing Policy Committee on Finance (SPC Finance) on the fiscal performance of the City’s Business Plan and Budgets. The goal of this financial reporting is to keep City Council and residents informed on the City’s financial performance as the year progresses.
Importantly, City Administration forecasts that $4.9 million will be saved through ongoing spending restrictions. These forecast savings, combined with projected underspending of $3.5 million in Snow and Ice and additional revenues of $2.5 million in Transit/Access Transit’s operating budget, are anticipated to help offset the 2023 Budget’s known financial pressures and any other forecasted shortfalls.
Details of the 2023 Budget variances are included in Appendix 1 - 2023 Year-End Projections by Business Line. Note, that the year-end figures are based on projections and estimates, and some have a high degree of volatility.
“While these mid-year financial figures are preliminary and based on data available at this time, Administration will continue to follow existing spending restrictions to minimize the potential for a year-end deficit,” adds Smith. “We continue to tightly monitor all discretionary spending and keep to our hiring restrictions which have been in place since 2020. We will, of course, balance these measures with the need to continue providing good value in the delivery of all civic services to the residents and businesses we serve.”
Additional key information/ results from the mid-year financial reporting:
City Administration will provide the next 2023 financial performance report through its third-quarter projections in November 2023.

Black cart size options and proposed curbside residential garbage utility fees to be presented to committee
August 30, 2023 - 4:00pm
The City Administration will next week present a plan designed to give households more choice on what they pay for garbage collection. On Tuesday, September 5, Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services (EU&CS) will hear details on cart size options, timelines and proposed rates for the garbage utility in 2024.
As previously directed by Council, the funding source for black cart garbage services will shift from property taxes to a utility model in 2024. Three different black cart sizes will be available to eligible households with curbside collection.
“Our aim is to offer residents a range of cart sizes that align with the waste requirements of their households,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water and Waste Operations. “With the success of the Green Cart Program, there is less waste in the black carts. The variable utility model means that households will have more control over their costs and only pay for the waste they actually produce.”
The cart sizes include the current large (360L) as well as a medium (240L) and a small (120L – 135L) black cart. Requests to change cart size will be accepted beginning in January 2024 with smaller black cart deliveries expected in the spring. There will be no fee for a household’s initial cart swap to allow residents sufficient time to right-size their carts.
A fixed utility rate of approximately $9.92 per month will be in place for all residents with curbside garbage collection until cart swaps are completed. The variable utility fees will not be implemented until mid-year following cart swaps. The proposed monthly utility rates for black cart services are approximately as follows: small (120 L – 135L) cart - $3.73, medium (240 L) - $7.05 and large (360 L) - $10.58 and can be seen here. A process for property managers and condo boards to manage bulk requests is being developed.
If Administration's recommendations are endorsed by Committee, they will be formally approved by City Council at its meeting on September 27.
The variable cart options will increase residents’ control over their costs and encourages reduction of waste by providing financial incentives for waste diversion. Communities that use similar approaches have seen their waste diversion rates increase by 5-17%, as residents improve their use of diversion programs and find new ways to reduce their general waste generation.
Program details for the $100 per year low-income Waste Utility Subsidy will also be included in a separate report presented at EU&CS.
Garbage collection will remain bi-weekly year-round. To view your collection calendar, visit saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar or download the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app.

City opens two new dog parks dedicated for small dogs
August 29, 2023 - 11:00am
The City of Saskatoon celebrated the addition of two new dog parks dedicated for small dogs with a ceremonial opening event at the new Charlottetown Dog Park.
Charlottetown Dog Park is a near one acre space located behind Cosmo Civic Centre and features naturalized elements including mature shade trees, dual-gate entry to help avoid accidental escapes and concrete entryway pads to prevent soil erosion.
In addition to the development of Charlottetown Dog Park, Hyde Dog Park in Saskatoon’s southeast now features two separate off-leash areas, one new space dedicated for small dogs in addition to the original Dog Park which is open to dogs of all sizes.
“Animal Services has received numerous requests over the years for dedicated areas for small dogs to enjoy off-leash activities,” says Brad Babyak, Recreation Services Manager, Open Space Programming & Development. “Implementation of these dedicated spaces will help prevent potential unnecessary conflict between small and large dogs and improve safety for owners and their pets.”
“It is great to see small dogs bring out their owners to explore and enjoy the newly developed spaces at Charlottetown and Hyde Dog Parks,” says Babyak.
Dogs must be under both the height and weight restrictions to be permitted in the new Dog Parks dedicated for small dogs. Pups that are taller than 40 cm at the shoulder and over 9 kg are free to enjoy any of the other 11 Dog Parks throughout the city that are available for dogs of all sizes.

Work continues to reduce City’s projected funding gap: Next Special Budget Meeting August 31
August 23, 2023 - 4:00pm
City Council’s Governance & Priorities Committee (GPC) will continue working to reduce the projected funding gap within the 2024/2025 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget at its next Special Budget Meeting set for Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 9:30 a.m.
Via GPC’s previous Special Budget Meetings on June 14, July 25 and August 15 - meaningful progress has been made to reduce the City’s projected funding gap by a total of $25.8 million in 2024 and $2.3 million in 2025. If left unmitigated, which is highly unlikely, the gaps currently equate to property tax increases of 8.54% in 2024 and 6.04% in 2025.
“City Council and Administration will continue to probe all business lines and review everything on the table in a public and transparent way to further address the funding pressures the City is facing over the next two years,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance. “Of course, City Council’s 2024/2025 finalized budget decisions will not be approved until its deliberations this November.”
Administration’s business line reports relating to Environmental Health, Taxation and General Revenue, Land Development, Arts, Culture and Events Venues, Recreation and Culture, and Urban Planning and Development -- previously deferred due to time constraints -- are set for discussion on August 31, along with Corporate Governance and Finance, Corporate Asset Management, and Utilities.
Council also awaits draft budget submissions from the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners and the Saskatoon Library Board so those may be incorporated into future budget discussions.
The full AGENDA for the August 31, 2023, Special Budget Meeting is available for review. As with all, this meeting will be LIVE streamed, access LIVE VIDEO here.
Should any member of the public wish to submit a letter or request to appear in person at the August 31 Special Budget Meeting, the deadline to arrange for this is Monday, August 28, at 5:00 p.m.
For more information on the 2024/2025 Multi-Year Budget & Business Plan, including answers to frequently asked questions and factual reference charts and graphs, check the 2024/2025 Multi-Year Budget Information Guide or visit Saskatoon.ca/budget.
