Have your say on the future of walking, cycling and rolling in Saskatoon
November 14, 2025 - 8:00am
The City of Saskatoon is updating its Active Transportation Plan, first adopted in 2016, to reflect our community’s changing needs, priorities and best practices. The updated plan will guide how we make walking, cycling and other forms of active transportation safer, more comfortable and more accessible for everyone year-round.
Residents are invited to take part in a community-wide survey open until December 3, 2025. Your feedback will help shape the strategies, priorities and actions in Saskatoon’s 2026 Active Transportation Plan.
The anonymous survey takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete and can be found at saskatoon.ca/activetransportation.
