An increase in funding to the City of Saskatoon’s 2014 Sidewalk Rehabilitation program will see approximately 6 kilometres of sidewalk repaired this year, up from a total of 1.7 kilometres in 2013.

“New funding for sidewalk rehabilitation will allow us to better address deteriorating and cracked sidewalks,” says Mike Gutek, Director of Major Projects. “This year our priority is repairing sidewalks in conjunction with roadway rehabilitation in order to reduce the overall impact to motorists and pedestrians.”

Two major rehabilitation projects have been done: one along Assiniboine Drive between Warman Road and Ravine Drive in River Heights and another on Eastlake Avenue between 10th Street and 12th Street in Nutana.

The City is spending $1.8 million which is nearly four times as much in as 2013. Future planned funding increases will enable the City to address more of the Saskatoon sidewalk network. On average, a city block is 165 m, which means approximately 36 city blocks of a single path of sidewalk can be replaced in 2014.

“With a properly funded rehabilitation program, we can improve the condition of sidewalks with patches, crack filling and replacements,” Gutek says. “Residents will start to see sidewalk conditions improve over the next few years as funding levels increase.”

Residents can view locations of the City’s sidewalk rehabilitation program on the new Road Restrictions and Construction Projects interactive map found on saskatoon.ca under Check this Out! or click on Building Better Roads for more program details.
