Progress continues on Link rapid transit, with College Drive concept designs and removal of pedestrian overpass approved
July 31, 2025 - 7:00am
City Council has finalized key details of the Link rapid transit route along College Drive with approval to remove the above-street pedestrian overpass along the route as it no longer meets accessibility standards, with a street-level accessible crosswalk taking its place. The current crosswalk at Bottomley Avenue further west will also be removed for better traffic flow.
Council approved the finalized concept plan in June with just the question about the pedestrian crosswalk remaining for the July meeting. Link remains on course to launch city-wide service in 2028.
“College Drive plays a crucial role in the Link network—it serves as a major corridor for residents, students and workers traveling across Saskatoon,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager, Transportation and Construction Division. “In 2025 we are on track to build approximately 44 station platforms city-wide, expanding significantly from the six built last year. With the College corridor concept plan now finalized we can look at beginning to work on College Drive in 2026.”
The dedicated centre running rapid transit lanes for Link on College Drive and 1st Avenue were approved by Council in 2019, following extensive public consultation and technical development. With upgrades to the College Drive corridor slated to begin next year, the Link team will continue work to finalize the concept plan for the 1st Avenue corridor from 19th Street to 25th Street, with detailed design and tenders for the work to follow. Work on the design of the 1st Avenue corridor is currently ongoing, and it is anticipated that public and stakeholder information sessions for the concept plan will take place this autumn, with a report to City Council planned for late 2025 or early 2026.
“The majority of the funding for Link—over 73 per cent—is being provided by the Province of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada,” Schmidt adds. “Once complete, this system will transform transit in Saskatoon by offering more frequent, efficient and reliable service across the city.”

Garbage truck incident in Riversdale
July 30, 2025 - 5:14pm
A person has been sent to hospital with injuries after an incident where their legs were reportedly run over by a garbage truck. It happened around 10 a.m. in an alleyway adjacent to Avenue I and south of 22nd Street.
“Our thoughts are with this individual and their loved ones right now,” says Angela Gardiner, General Manager of Utilities and Environment.
The alley in this location is configured with a 90-degree sharp turn to the left. Initial information is an individual was lying to the side of the laneway near the left corner of the turn, near a power box and not visible to the truck operator. Garbage trucks have a right-hand driver’s seat and steering wheel to allow the operator a better view for collecting and tipping bins on the right-hand side of the truck.
Water and Waste Operations managers were on scene to provide support to the operator and to cooperate with the Police investigation. No charges have been laid.
Council changes Business Licence Bylaw regarding bear spray sales
July 30, 2025 - 4:30pm
- Mandatory buyer registry:
- Record buyer’s name, address, phone number, date of birth
- Collect two pieces of ID (one with a photo)
- Document product details (manufacturer, model, serial number, etc.)
- Record date, time, and employee name who completed the sale
- Keep records for at least two years
- Age restrictions:
- Buyers and sellers must be 18 years or older
- No sales to anyone who fails to properly identify themselves
- Storage and product requirements:
- Bear spray must be stored out of public view
- Only unmodified, clearly labeled products may be sold
- Enforcement:
- Non-compliant businesses may face fines, suspension, or loss of licence
City Council approved several significant changes to its Business Licence Bylaw regarding the sale of bear spray, aiming to reduce its misuse, particularly among youth. These changes affect all businesses that sell bear spray and will be enforced starting July 30, 2025.
Key changes to the bylaw include:
“Bear spray incidents in Saskatoon have more than doubled in recent years with youth-related offences increasing by over 500% since 2021.” says Mark Wilson, Licensing and Permitting Manager. “These changes are intended to reduce the availability of the product to minors, reduce the number of bear spray incidents and provide records that could assist in an investigation.”
The bylaw has been formally adopted as of July 30, 2025. Businesses known to the City of Saskatoon and Saskatoon Police Service to sell bear spray have been notified of the changes and their obligations under the bylaw. We would like to thank these businesses for their support, and for the voluntary efforts undertaken by large format sporting goods stores to check for identification prior to the bylaw coming into force.

Reminder: Permit required for work near City trees
July 24, 2025 - 10:00am
- Pruning, removing or relocating a City tree
- Applying pesticides or harmful chemicals
- Interfering with a tree’s access to water, air or nutrients
- Removing protective barriers
- Carving into the bark or attaching items to the tree
- Placing lights or extension cords on a City tree during the winter months (October to March), provided they do not pose a hazard or harm the tree
- Minor landscaping such as hand digging or mowing
- Trees in back lanes
Trees on City property–such as boulevards, medians, parks and natural areas–are valuable assets and an integral part of Saskatoon’s urban forest. The City’s Tree Protection Bylaw is there to protect trees located on City property.
Residents and contractors are reminded that a Tree Permit is required for any construction, major landscaping or demolition work within six metres of a City tree. This includes placing heavy equipment or materials near a tree, unless they are on a paved surface like a driveway, street or path. Tree Permits are free and typically processed within four business days.
The Bylaw also prohibits several activities without prior approval from the City. These include but are not limited to:
A permit is not required in the following situations:
Not sure if there are City trees on your worksite? Use the Tree Inventory tool available on the Tree Permits webpage at saskatoon.ca/treepermits.
For more information or to submit a permit application, visit saskatoon.ca/treepermits.
Federal funding will support community safety and homelessness data research in Saskatoon
July 24, 2025 - 7:00am
City agencies team up with a Wilfrid Laurier University researcher to build a data-sharing framework – the first of its kind in Canada – which will help develop better solutions for community safety and homelessness.
The City of Saskatoon, in partnership with the Saskatoon Police Service, the Saskatoon Fire Department, and Dr. Tarah Hodgkinson of Wilfrid Laurier University, have been awarded $200,000 in federal funding for a three-year Partnership Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
“All of our organizations and service providers are often serving the same individuals who receive supports throughout the community,” says Deputy Fire Chief Yvonne Raymer. “Despite significant overlap, data sharing restrictions can prevent us from being able to share important information with each other, reduce service overlap, and coordinate our efforts to help people in the most effective way.”
Deputy Police Chief Darren Pringle says the project will help the City, Police and Fire work better together, and with their partners.
“Data restriction can lead to inefficient service delivery, service duplication, and interfere with efforts that could lead to more sustainable solutions that improve quality of life for people experiencing homelessness as well as the broader community.”
Meanwhile, this project continues a productive cooperation with Wilfrid Laurier University.
“This project builds on a ten-year relationship the City of Saskatoon has with Dr. Hodgkinson,” says Lesley Anderson, Director of Planning and Development. “It also strengthens the coordinated community safety work among the City, Police, and Fire, who have been working together since 2022.”
The coordinated community safety work has been focused on improving data collection, planning, and communications to provide a more consistent approach in working with other community partners, orders of government, and the Saskatoon public.
“This project in Saskatoon will be the first of its kind in Canada to support integrated and data-driven municipal approaches to the issues of community safety and homelessness,” says Dr. Hodgkinson. “It has the potential to be transferable to other municipalities in Canada, to support secure and de-identified data-sharing, advance evidence-based crime prevention policies in other jurisdictions, and improve municipal service delivery across Canada.”
The project will also create essential long-term pathways for secure data sharing through a non-biased third party—Dr. Hodgkinson and the secure data centre located at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Centre for Research on Security Practices (CRSP).
