The ATP is part of the City’s Growth Plan to Half a Million and will provide a 30-year roadmap to increase opportunities for walking, biking, and other forms of active transportation in Saskatoon.  The plan is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2016 and will shape changes to infrastructure and support programs to encourage all of us to use active transportation more often – whether for work, pleasure, shopping, visiting friends and family, or running errands.

For more information on the ATP, or to sign up for project update notifications, please visit www.growingfwd.ca/activetransportation.

There are only two days left to visit Citizen Budget! Tell us what you think about the City’s proposed 2016 Budget - spend more, spend less or spend about the same? Citizen Budget will be closed after Friday, November 13. Consider taking ten minutes to help shape Saskatoon’s financial future.

Not just for property owners, Citizen Budget  is the City of Saskatoon’s new online tool for gathering public feedback. The interactive and educational survey tool provides Saskatoon citizens an opportunity to comment on what their budget priorities would be, and preferences around key civic services and programs. Citizen Budget also offers an opportunity to provide general comments on any other budget matters of concern.

Importantly, City Council and Administration will consider all public feedback gathered through Citizen Budget prior to their final budget deliberations, November 30, December 1 & 3, 2015. Visitors to City Hall can also leave their comments at the budget display in the front lobby.
