Crews begin nighttime crosswalk painting blitz
May 22, 2025 - 1:00pm
Crosswalks on high-traffic Saskatoon streets will be repainted over the next two weeks. Crews will be working at night to avoid peak traffic times and minimize disruption.
Crews will be painting crosswalks Sunday to Thursday nights starting May 25, 2025. The work is expected to be completed the first week of June.
Please use caution and take care when you encounter painting crews on the road. They’re not blocking your path – they’re making a safer one. Let’s do our part to keep them safe, too, and respect work zones.

City adopts Place Identity Framework
May 22, 2025 - 10:15am
- Build relationships- Commit to creating and sustaining relationships with residents, rights holders, stakeholders and community organizations to build a greater sense of place, identity and community.
- Be informed- Understand that place naming and place identity are informed by traditional knowledge, historical research and community insights.
- Be inclusive- Listen to the diverse perspectives and experiences of the residents of this city and commit to public input, transparency, education and communication when it comes to place identity.
Be relevant- Understand our stories of Saskatoon and what connects us historically and balance that with celebrating our local culture when it comes to place naming, commemoration and symbols.
Implementation of the Framework will include working with community and multiple internal departments within the City of Saskatoon to integrate place identity practices at the earliest stages when it comes to the planning of new public spaces.
“This is about recognizing change and accepting new perspectives while honouring and reflecting upon our shared past and creating a better, more inclusive future, for all residents” says Calvez.
The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce the adoption of a new Place Identity Framework to guide future place identity and place naming initiatives. City Council adopted the Place Identity Framework on May 21, 2025.
The purpose of the Framework is to work with all residents to explore the shared understanding that we all have about our home. The Framework will be a guide to how the City names public spaces, and will guide decisions on public art, commemoration and monuments including what cultural symbols, flags, emblems and coats of arms will be displayed.
“The Place Identity Framework recognizes that not everyone has been included in how the City of Saskatoon has identified and visually represented itself,” says Stryker Calvez, Director of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI). “This is especially important for those who have called this place home since time immemorial. This framework acknowledges the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples, those people raised here, and the newcomers who chose to make it their home. We all contribute to Saskatoon and, therefore, should have a say in the making of its identity.”
Place identity will have four guiding principles within the wider context of existing City policies, plans, projects and related initiatives:

City Council approves wildlife feeding ban to support public safety and urban wildlife management
May 22, 2025 - 9:00am
- Feeding Ban: It is now prohibited to intentionally feed wildlife or leave attractants – such as food, food waste, compost or garbage – on any property with the intent of attracting wildlife or that could attract wildlife.
- Bird Feeding Exception: Residents may continue to feed birds on private property using a bird feeder that is above grade to prevent access to other wildlife.
- Enforcement and Penalties: A Notice of Violation may be issued for non-compliance. Fines are set at:
- $250 for a first offence
- $500 for a second offence
- $1,000 for a third or subsequent offence
City Council yesterday approved amendments to Bylaw No. 10079, The Animal Control Bylaw, 2025 (No.2) and Bylaw No. 10080, The Property Nuisance & Abatement Amendment Bylaw, 2025, to prohibit the feeding of wildlife on all public or private property in Saskatoon.
The new regulations aim to help reduce conflicts and promote a respectful coexistence with urban wildlife. The term “wildlife” is defined in accordance with provincial legislation, The Wildlife Act, 1998, and includes any vertebrate animal that is wild by nature in Saskatchewan (e.g., coyotes, foxes, racoons, rabbits, deer, etc.).
Key provisions of the amendments include:
“These bylaw updates reflect best practices from other municipalities and support our efforts to maintain a safe and healthy urban environment,” says Parks Director, Thai Hoang. “Feeding dangerous wildlife, even unintentionally, can lead to increased risks and poor outcomes for both animals and residents.”
Residents are encouraged to review the updated bylaws and take steps to ensure their properties are free from wildlife attractants.

Council approves city-wide multi-unit organics program
May 21, 2025 - 4:00pm
Today Saskatoon City Council approved the implementation of a City-wide organics collection program for multi-unit residential properties. The move builds on the success of the curbside green cart program for single-family homes and aims to ensure all residents have equal access to waste services.
The recommendation for a City-led multi-unit organics program stems from a yearlong pilot study that explored the most effective ways to provide organics diversion to multi-unit residential properties including apartments, condos and townhouse complexes. A report to the May 6, 2025 meeting of the Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services provided a detailed analysis of the options available to the City for multi-unit organics programs.
Engagement with pilot participants, including residents, property managers and condo boards, showed a preference for a City-led organics program. In addition to being the preferred option, it is projected to be the most cost efficient when compared to current market alternatives. Organic material gathered through the program would be handled at the City’s organic processing facility, which begins construction this July.
An implementation plan is being developed aiming to have a city-wide program fully operational in 2028.
To learn more about the pilot program, visit saskatoon.ca/multiorganics.

Information at your fingertips to help navigate construction in Saskatoon
May 21, 2025 - 10:00am
- This link goes to the News section of the City of Saskatoon website where the Daily Road Report is posted every weekday afternoon. The report shows where construction on Saskatoon’s busiest roadways is happening, and residents can subscribe to receive it and other News Releases and PSAs through e-mail.
- This interactive map shows where there’s active construction, construction upcoming later this year and tentative construction planned in the coming years. All projects and timelines listed are subject to change.
- Anyone can mark pothole locations on this map. City crews will assess reported locations.
- This page includes information about how to merge and navigating through construction zones using the zipper merge technique. Zipper merging keeps traffic moving and is more efficient for drivers in both lanes.
- Every construction work zone is a workplace, whether it’s on a road, sidewalk or back lane. Visit this page to see a refreshed Respect Work Zones marketing campaign, reminding us to be patient and cautious when travelling through work zones.
During every construction season, the City of Saskatoon (City) aims to reduce disruptions and keep traffic moving as smoothly and safely as possible while necessary road work is underway. With 2025 construction now in full swing, the City is reminding residents of the tools available to help them stay up to date.
This year there are several investments being made into Saskatoon roads and to vital supports like the Broadway Bridge and upcoming Link system. City crews responsible for maintaining roads every spring have been out for a several weeks already street sweeping, re-painting road lines and filling potholes, to name a few.
Saskatoon.ca/construction is the one-stop-shop for all things relating to City-lead road and water main construction. It is where the most up-to-date information about significant and impactful construction projects is, and the page has several useful links:
Road Restrictions and Construction Projects Map
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by road construction. Sometimes bus stops are temporarily moved and sometimes traffic slows down due to construction which creates delays. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit.
Be cautious when travelling near work zones. Obey signs and watch for workers on the other side of the pylons. Every worker is someone’s someone, and we all deserve to get home safe.
Who’s new at the Zoo? Gila Monster
May 21, 2025 - 9:00am
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) is excited to welcome its latest addition a pair of Gila Monsters!

Named after the Gila River Basin in Arizona where they were first discovered, Gila Monsters are known for their vibrant, colourful skin patterns, often in shades of orange, pink and black.
You can find the Gila Monster habitat at the Affinity Learning Centre.
The Zoo is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visit saskatoon.ca/zoo to plan your next visit or learn more about the Zoo Season Pass.

City launches new active transportation safety campaign
May 15, 2025 - 6:00am
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians go together best when we all know how to safely share the road. The City of Saskatoon’s new BYXE Break Active Transportation Safety Campaign aims to promote safe and respectful interactions to create a safer, healthier and more enjoyable environment for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
Launching on Bike to Work Day, the BYXE Break campaign encourages the community to recognize that, no matter what mode of transportation we choose, we are all human beings deserving of respect. The campaign focuses on delivering important messages about sharing the road, understanding right-of-way and the many benefits of diverse transportation options.
The campaign also highlights the physical benefits of active transportation, such as improved fitness and well-being, and practical benefits like avoiding traffic congestion and freeing up parking spaces in busy areas.
Respect on the road is totally rad!

Every worker is someone’s someone: Please respect work zones
May 7, 2025 - 9:00am
- Work zones are workplaces. Be courteous, obey signage and never move or bypass pylons, barriers or tape.
- Respect all types of work zones. From road crews and pavement line painters to Saskatoon Light & Power and water and waste teams, work happens day and night on streets, in back lanes and on sidewalks.
- Slow down and stay alert. Speeding and ignoring signs put lives at risk. The person behind the cone or barricade might be someone’s parent, child, sibling or best friend, just like your loved ones.
As construction season gets underway, the City of Saskatoon is reminding residents and visitors to respect work zones on roads, sidewalks and in neighbourhoods across Saskatoon. Behind every safety vest and barricade is a real person: a parent, a partner, a friend, a teammate.
From road repairs and power line upgrades to water main maintenance and back lane work, crews are on the job every day to keep Saskatoon running smoothly. Whether you're driving, walking or biking, staying alert and following posted signage is crucial in helping these workers make it home safely.
“Our crews work in all corners of the city, often in unpredictable conditions, and they deserve to be treated with respect and care,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation & Construction. “They’re more than city employees—they’re someone’s loved one.”
Key reminders for all road users:
Respecting work zones is about protecting everyone; residents, visitors and the people who make our city work, whether they’re under the street, above the power lines or working curbside in your neighbourhood.
For more information and safety tips, visit saskatoon.ca/respectworkzones.

Saskatoon Transit detours start May 12 for Broadway Bridge rehabilitation
May 6, 2025 - 1:15pm
- Westbound Service: Routes 8 and the Oskāyak High School Route.
- Eastbound Service: Routes 81, 82, 84, 86.
Saskatoon Transit will detour several routes starting Monday, May 12, 2025, due to the full closure of the Broadway Bridge for scheduled rehabilitation. The project, which is expected to continue for approximately six months, will also coincide with the start of construction for four new Link station platforms on Broadway Avenue as part of the upcoming rapid transit system.
Bus stops on Broadway Avenue, between 12th and 8th Streets, will be temporarily relocated to Victoria Avenue with new short-term signage. Two downtown stops on 19th Street near the Broadway Bridge will also close. Closed bus stops will direct riders to nearby stops for eastbound or westbound travel.
Saskatoon Transit routes to and from downtown will use Victoria Avenue and the Traffic Bridge.
As a reminder, the four temporary stops on Victoria Avenue will have parking restrictions limited to the areas necessary for bus stop placement, approximately 25 meters per stop.
Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Saskatoon Transit customer service team at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or 306.975.3100.
We thank our customers for their patience and cooperation through these service interruptions.

Saskatoon Transit analyzes readiness for a zero emissions bus fleet
May 6, 2025 - 11:00am
Saskatoon Transit contracted the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) through the National Planning Service for the Government of Canada’s Zero Emission Transit Fund, to create a comprehensive Zero Emissions Bus (ZEB) Implementation Plan. The plan assessed Saskatoon Transit's readiness to transition to a fully zero emission bus fleet.
The study considers economic, technological, social and environmental benefits, risks and constraints of investing in zero emission buses and supporting infrastructure in Saskatoon using three scenarios: full battery electric bus (BEB) fleet, full hydrogen fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) fleet and a fleet with a mix of both.
Both battery electric and hydrogen-powered buses rely significantly on the power grid for charging or fuel production. Saskatchewan power plants use fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas to generate electricity, which emit greenhouse gases and offset the benefits of reduced tailpipe emissions from zero emission buses.
Financial cost is also a significant factor, as the total life cycle cost (15 years) of a fleet of 100% FCEBs would cost $1.1 billion using current prices and $18.2 million for facility retrofits. A fleet of 100% BEBs would have a total life cycle cost (15 years) of $479.2 million and require $47.7 million in facility costs and on-route charging infrastructure.
“The data and analysis in the zero emissions bus study provide a roadmap for Saskatoon Transit to follow when power is generated by a higher proportion of renewable energy sources in Saskatchewan,” says Mike Moellenbeck, Director of Saskatoon Transit. “Saskatoon Transit will continue to monitor advancements in technology, funding programs and changes in the power grid to transition to ZEBs when it is feasible.”
"Transit decarbonization is a critical pathway to the reduction of emissions at the municipal level. But based on the carbon intensity of provincial grids, electrification is not always a slam dunk because of pollution from electrical grids,” says Josipa Petrunic, President and CEO of CUTRIC. “As the provincial grid system decarbonizes in upcoming decades, electrification will become a more viable option for cities like Saskatoon as they transition away from fossil fuels."
A new Transit fleet renewal strategy for annual diesel bus purchases will be presented to City Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Transportation (SPCT) for consideration in June.
