The City of Saskatoon will begin testing new pedestrian crossing signals on Warman Road at Hazen Street and at 5th Avenue North next week to prepare for activation. The traffic signals will operate in temporary flash mode starting at 10 a.m. on May 19 through May 21, weather and testing dependent.

During this testing period, the traffic signals crossing Warman Road at Hazen Street will flash red in all directions for drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding when safe. The traffic signals crossing Warman Road at 5th Avenue North will flash amber, requiring drivers to proceed through the intersection with caution.

The signals will be activated ahead of May 31 when bus service begins at the new adjacent bus stop platforms on Routes 30 and 35, providing new access for residents in the area.

Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are reminded to pay close attention to signage and use extra caution.

To plan a trip on Route 30 and 35, use the Transit App or Google Maps Transit, or check out route schedules at saskatoontransit.ca/routes. These new bus stops will be part of the future Link rapid transit blue line. Learn more at saskatoon.ca/link.

The City of Saskatoon’s 2025 Strategic Plan Progress Report marks the final year of the City’s 2022–2025 Strategic Plan and reflects a year of remarkable outcomes and important transitions as Saskatoon continues to grow.

“The 2025 results reflect both measurable progress and important investments behind the scenes,” says Richard Phillips, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “This report demonstrates the City’s deliberate choices to support affordability, environmental responsibility and reliable services. While there is more work ahead, we are entering our new, 2026-2029 Strategic Plan cycle with strong momentum, building on the value and results delivered over the past four years for everyone who lives, works, learns and plays in Saskatoon.”

In 2025, the City of Saskatoon continued to work on 25 key strategic initiatives, with 7 fully completed. Ongoing work planned for 17 initiatives was completed as scheduled, with work continuing as planned in 2026. One initiative was flagged for caution due to its scale and complexity, with timelines adjusted to ensure long‑term success. This represents a 96 per cent delivery rate on our key strategic initiatives.

While celebrating these achievements, the City remains focused on areas that require continued attention. Progress is being made in strengthening emergency response times, transit performance, and residents’ perceptions of inclusion. These areas of focus, alongside ongoing improvements in workforce diversity, will continue to receive attention. Administration has already identified ways in which these areas can see progress in over the coming years.

“We recognize that there are areas for improvement but we have also taken actions in several areas that are important to residents,” says Phillips. More attainable housing was delivered than in previous years, supporting affordability. Waste diversion reached record levels and greenhouse gas emissions continued to decline as environmental initiatives moved into action.

The City also invested in transit, asset management, digital services, and data systems, strengthening long‑term service delivery and planning as the city continues to grow. Saskatoon also remained one of the most affordable cities, helping residents and local businesses.

Overall, 2025 represents a year of progress and transition, balancing today’s service needs while building a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable Saskatoon.
