HIGHWAY 11 & 16 CLOVERLEAF OVERPASS REPAIRS COMPLETE
September 21, 2015 - 2:53am
- Cross-overs built between the driving lanes to accommodate detoured traffic
- Removal and replacement of the ends of the support beams and key structural components to restore the structural capacity
- Removal and replacement of the asphalt surface
The City of Saskatoon has completed repairs to the Highway 11 & 16 cloverleaf overpasses and all traffic restrictions have been lifted. Some single lane restrictions during off peak hours may still be required for finishing touches.
During the four month long project the following work was completed:
The work has extended the life of this important piece of infrastructure and ensured its continued use into the future. Maintaining City infrastructure and bridges is important to Saskatoon.
The City thanks drivers for their patience while this necessary work was carried out.
In an effort to reduce the overall cost of bridge structures, the City focuses on preservation in order to protect the financial investment as well as maximize the sustainability of the infrastructure. The City’s Bridge Strategy moving forward includes the rehabilitation of at least two bridge/overpass structures per year. The Ruth Street overpass is slated for rehabilitation in 2016.

SUMMER MAINTENANCE EXTENDS LIFE OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE
September 18, 2015 - 6:05am
A variety of summer maintenance and repair programs are carried out each year that are critical to protecting Saskatoon’s roadway infrastructure from deterioration. The initial spring focus is high-traffic street sweeping to remove winter debris and pothole repairs to seal the road, followed by six weeks of city-wide curb-to-curb street sweeping.
“The work isn’t glamourous and sometimes it may go unnoticed by most residents, but it is critical to keeping a city this size moving,” says Pat Hyde, Director of Public Works.
Other programs include 400 kilometres of back lane maintenance and rehabilitation to restore grades and remove ruts; more than 300 sidewalk repairs to prevent risk of tripping; and washing/sealing concrete bridges and overpasses to reduce damage from the weather.
“These programs are essential to extending the life of the roads and infrastructure that we all rely on every day,” says Hyde. “Thanks in most part to the dry weather we experienced through spring and summer we’ve finished the majority of programs within a day or two of our schedule.”
In addition to these annual roadway programs, we continue to repair potholes and pave utility cut locations. To date crews have repaired approximately 140,300 potholes and patch 20-25 utility cut locations each day.
“Now that the summer programs are drawing to a close we are turning our attention towards preparing our programs for winter.”
Slow down, pay attention and respect work zones. Watch for pedestrians and work crews, and for everyone’s safety, please obey all detours, signs and barriers.

- October – installation of 40 units
- November – installation of 100 units
- December – installation of 100 units
The City has started the installation of 250 bicycle parking systems in the Riversdale, Downtown, and Broadway areas. The new systems are primarily designed to be used as bike racks, but some will also serve as convenient places for the public to sit and rest.
The bike racks are an innovative reuse of the parking meter posts remaining after the introduction of the City’s new FlexParking Pay Stations and removal of the old parking meter heads.
Triangular steel frames have been added to the meter post for securing bikes. In a few locations, a bench seat and small table top will also be included. The goal of this project is to promote active transportation and to provide more attractive options for moving around our city.
The first 10 units will be installed by the end of today, Wednesday, September 16, 2015, in the following locations:
Broadway:
Downtown:
Riversdale:
The remaining 240 systems will be completed by the end of 2015:

BLACK CART COLLECTION SHIFTS TO EVERY TWO WEEKS ON OCTOBER 5 – CHECK YOUR CALENDAR
September 15, 2015 - 9:54am
- Recycle all paper and packaging in your blue cart that is collected every two weeks, year-round,
- Compost your leaves, non-elm branches and garden waste at a City Compost Depot free of charge,
- Take large items directly to the Saskatoon Landfill located off Valley Road, south of 11th Street (regular charges apply), and
- Learn how to properly dispose of oil, auto parts, electronics, paint/construction material & other hazardous waste at saskatoon.ca/recycling.
- Confirm your bi-weekly start date on your 2015 Waste Collection Calendar,
- Sign-up for a personal collection day reminder at saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar,
- Completely close and properly place your cart by 7:00 a.m. on collection day, and
- Return your cart to your yard or garage to prevent theft, damage or fines.
Residents are reminded that residential garbage collection changes from every week to bi-weekly (every two weeks) on October 5 this year. As shown on the 2015 Waste Collection Calendar mailed to every household in December, the winter bi-weekly schedule for garbage is starting one month earlier this year.
Households tend to generate less garbage when the weather turns cold, and even less as Saskatoon residents use their blue carts to recycle more of their household items. For residents concerned about filling their black cart before their next collection date, the City offers the following tips:
Put waste in the right place to reduce the garbage that goes into your black cart:
Follow these tips for a successful bi-weekly collection:
If your garbage or recycling is normally collected on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day, they will be collected the following Saturday. Regular collection service is provided on all other statutory holidays, including Remembrance day.

MORE FLEXPARKING PAY STATIONS TO BE ACTIVATED IN THE RIVERSDALE AREA
September 15, 2015 - 8:20am
- Have your licence plate number handy; you’ll need it at every transaction.
- Don’t forget to note the maximum allowable time where you’re parking; you can only park as long as the sign indicates, regardless of how much time you buy.
- You don’t need to display a dashboard ticket; your license plate provides proof of payment.
- Balances on your parking purchase can be carried forward to any space that’s been switched over to the new system; balances cannot be applied to coin-metered spaces.
As the City of Saskatoon (City) continues to roll out the FlexParking program in stages, an additional 37 pay stations will be activated throughout the Riversdale area on Wednesday, September 16.
Before the new, flexible pay stations are turned on, the old coin meters will be removed. As long as drivers encounter an unhooded, active coin meter, that’s where they should pay.
More stations will continue to be activated at other locations across the city in the weeks to come.
Important tips and reminders:
The City’s Disability and Veteran Parking Permit Program remains unchanged, and drivers are still required to display their placards.
For more information, including a map of where the new FlexParking pay stations are installed, as well as frequently asked questions, visit saskatoon.ca/flexparking or call 306-975-2548.
