As progress continues on the Link project, the public is invited to see what rapid transit will look like along 1st Avenue
October 21, 2025 - 10:15am
Everyone in Saskatoon is invited to come to one of two come-and-go information events to be held on October 23rd and October 27th, where the future configuration of the Link rapid transit project along 1st Avenue will be displayed and City staff and the design Consultant will be available to answer questions. The come-and-go events will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown and have been scheduled to give people the opportunity to come view the concept design. This marks another major milestone in the project as construction moves forward toward a goal of a 2028 service launch.
“The 1st Avenue section of the Link route is important as it is the only corridor where all three rapid transit lines will converge, and it will move a large number of people from, to and through Downtown,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “These events will give people the opportunity to see where stations will be located as well as give them an idea of how transit, traffic, pedestrians and cyclists will move along 1st Avenue once Link is operational.”
People are invited to attend one of the two events:
October 23 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Hilton Garden Inn 90 22nd St E
Garden South Centre Room
October 27 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Hilton Garden Inn 90 22nd St E
Garden South Centre Room
In addition, a stakeholder-specific event will be held for residents and businesses directly along 1st Avenue between 19th Street and 25th Street and 21st Street between 1st Avenue and 3rd Avenue on October 22nd.
More information can be found at saskatoon.ca/link1st.
