Saskatoon Transit service adjustments – effective May 29, 2022
May 24, 2022 - 8:22am
Starting Sunday, May 29, 2022, three Saskatoon Transit routes will experience changes to provide improved reliability and connectivity to the system.
Route 1 - Exhibition
Route 1 will incorporate a part of Route 20, which includes Brand Road, Melville Street and South Industrial. With this extension of service, regular frequency and service throughout the day will become available to the Auto Mall Village and South Industrial.
Route 20 – South Industrial
The South Industrial portion of the Route 20 will be replaced with the Route 1 extension.
Route 13 - Avalon / Lawson Heights
From July through to August, Route 13 is expected to be impacted at 12th Street and University Drive due to summer construction. A planned detour will move Route 13 to 8th Street and Clarence Avenue. Route 13 will continue to service Broadway Avenue south of 8th Street, with additional frequency along Clarence Avenue.
Transit customers are encouraged to learn about the route changes by going to the website, calling the Transit Customer Service Centre at 306-975-3100 or using the transit app to plan their trip.
Riders are encouraged to plan their trip in advance and review the updated schedules before travelling. Riders can pin the routes they use most often in the transit app to get push notifications of service alerts.
Evening expressway sweeping starts tonight
May 24, 2022 - 7:19am
City and contractor crews have been busy sweeping up road debris to clean streets and reduce dust in the air since the snow melted. Starting tonight, Tuesday, May 24, motorists should expect delays on expressways, including Circle Drive, Monday to Thursday evenings from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This project is expected to be completed by June 2nd , weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Motorists should stay back a minimum of 15 metres (about 2.5 car lengths), and when passing, should use extreme caution and slow to 60 km/h. The street sweeping vehicles will travel with a Saskatoon Police Service escort to enforce speeding and other work zone infractions. On and off ramps will be temporarily closed while sweeping is being completed.
Saskatoon Police Service and pilot vehicles will use flashing lights to warn drivers to slow down as they approach the moving work zone. Motorists must slow down and respect all work zones, including mobile work zones, detours, flashing lights, barriers and workers outside of equipment.
The km/h charge for travelling in excess of the posted speed limit in a construction zone is double. Driving 20 km/h over the speed limit will cost you $440; 40 km over will cost $1,008.
The City thanks motorists for their patience while this necessary work is carried out.

Celebrating Victoria Day with fireworks
May 19, 2022 - 7:00am
- Carefully read and follow the manufacturer instructions.
- Exercise increased caution when handling and discharging any type of firework.
- Choose your location wisely. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property. Familiarize yourself with the space requirements for the type of firework being discharged. Requirements vary depending on the firework type.
- Ensure your location is free of overhead obstructions, is clear side-to-side and is a safe distance from combustible materials.
- Ensure that it is not windy and that all spectators are safely located to observe the display.
- Be sure to properly stabilize the firework according to manufacturer direction.
- Other than sparklers, never light or hold a lit firework in your hand.
- Always light the fuse at its tip.
- Never try to relight or fix the fuse on fireworks that did not go off.
- Have a supply of water available and use it to extinguish debris or smouldering embers before they cause injuries, property damage and/or fires.
- Keep in mind that you are solely responsible for any debris that may land on spectators or another’s property.
The Saskatoon Fire Department would like to remind residents and visitors of safe practices for purchasing, enjoying and disposing of fireworks. This Victoria Day, low-hazard fireworks can only be discharged on private property between the hours of dusk and 11:00 p.m. on Monday, May 23.
Low-hazard fireworks are designed for public recreational use. These fireworks travel less than 50m (160ft) high and include items such as roman candles, sparklers, fountains, wheels, volcanoes, mines and snakes.
High-hazard fireworks are designed for professionals and can only be purchased by persons holding a valid Fireworks Supervisor – Level I or Level II card issued by Natural Resources Canada.
Residents and spectators are reminded of the risks and obligations associated with fireworks:
For more information about fireworks safety, please visit saskatoon.ca/fireworks.

Starting May 17, 2022, finding information on zoning anywhere in Saskatoon can now be done online through the City of Saskatoon’s new Digital Zoning Bylaw system. The online version of Bylaw 8770 – Zoning Bylaw, 2009, will make it easier to find information on specific areas of the city, through an easy-to-navigate interface as well as interactive maps.
Previously, the Zoning Bylaw was only available in a print/pdf format that was 525 pages long and could be difficult to use to find specific information. Now, by going to saskatoon.ca/digitalzoningbylaw, builders, homeowners and anyone else can easily find the information they need. Future versions of the Digital Zoning Bylaw will include a search function and other improved functionalities.
Implementation of the Digital Zoning Bylaw supports the City of Saskatoon’s strategic plan by improving service to enhance economic development and provide greater transparency to the public around planning and development. If there is any discrepancy between the digital version of the bylaw and the written version, the written version will remain the legal document.
For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/zoningbylaw, or email zoningbylaw@saskatoon.ca.

BYXE Week May 16-20: Where will the ride take you?
May 12, 2022 - 2:00pm
Monday, May 16 kicks off the annual Spring BYXE Week! Many activities and events are planned throughout the week, including the return of in-person commuter stations on Bike to Work Day Thursday, May 19. Local advocacy group, Saskatoon Cycles, is coordinating the events in partnership with the City.
Cycling is a convenient and low-cost form of everyday transportation that benefits Saskatoon by decreasing traffic congestion, noise and air pollution. Riding a bike is also great for physical and mental health; regular exercise leaves you feeling refreshed, energized and alert. Riding your bike can save you money when gas prices are climbing, plus the infrastructure costs less than building and maintaining more roads.
Where will the ride take you? BYXE Week is a great time to tune-up your bikes and explore Saskatoon and all its beauty as spring blooms. The 2022 Cycling Guide is now available with bike routes and safety tips; and people can take the challenge to find brightly-coloured decorated bikes parked around the city or tackle a BYXE Week scavenger hunt.
Thursday, May 19 Bike to Work Day Commuter Stations, sponsored by local organizations and businesses, will be serving refreshments and snacks for people on bikes during their morning (7-9 a.m.) and afternoon (4-6 p.m.) commutes.
If you live too far away to ride your bike, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. Plan your trip using the Transit app and Google Transit.
Share your pedal adventures! Snap pics along your ride and post them with #BYXE and we may share them on our pages, plus you’ll be entered to win prizes.
Visit saskatooncycles.org/BYXE for details about the week-long activities planned and join our Facebook Event for updates.

Upgrade to City’s online payment system
May 5, 2022 - 4:55am
The City is updating its online payment system in keeping with the latest standards for secure transactions. The update will affect all online payment systems including parking tickets, business licenses, leisure registration, etc. It takes effect on May 7th.
Residents using these services will be required to use a secure and reasonably up to date internet browser. Compatible browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari. Most browsers auto-update; however, if a browser hasn’t been updated in some time, the resident may find that a browser update is now necessary to perform transactions.
Similarly, people will not be able to make payments using very old devices or operating systems – e.g. anything older than Windows 7, Mac OS 10, Android 5, iPhone 5. This is because older devices and operating systems do not meet current standards for safe financial transactions.
Associated webpages on Saskatoon.ca will be updated to include blue information boxes that remind residents to use an up-to-date web browser and device.
Road construction in high traffic areas this summer; neighbourhood water main replacements continue
May 5, 2022 - 10:00am
Major improvements are in store for some of Saskatoon’s most travelled roadways during the 2022 construction season. This year, the City has earmarked approximately $65.16 million for road and bridge construction and maintenance. One of the most significant construction zones will be set up in a few weeks on Circle Drive North between Alberta Avenue and Millar Avenue.
“More than 56,000 vehicles of all sizes travel over this section of Circle Drive every day and it certainly shows,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “The east bound lanes will be resurfaced and there will be concrete improvements on the medians and curbs. We will return next year to resurface the west bound lanes to avoid major traffic disruptions on both sides at the same time.”
Attridge Drive over Circle Drive will be another high traffic road under construction. Beginning in July, the 22-year-old overpass that approximately 64,000 vehicles travel on daily, will undergo preventative maintenance, like repaving, to make sure it lasts for years to come. The Spadina Crescent Bridge, between Queen Street and 25th Street, is proof that preventative maintenance over the years contributes to the longevity of City assets. The 90-year-old bridge, that about 16,000 vehicles travel over every day, will be fully closed for approximately one month beginning next week as the bridge deck, asphalt, concrete, and security fencing underneath are rehabilitated or replaced.
“Other high-profile road construction locations include resurfacing on Warman Road over Circle Drive, and intersection improvements at Warman Road and 33rd Street. Plans include adding a new turning lane to better accommodate south bound traffic on Warman Road turning right onto 33rd Street,” says Schmidt.
Road and sidewalk improvements will be noticeable in some of Saskatoon’s most established residential neighbourhoods too, like King George, Nutana, and North Downtown. Those improvements are completed at the same time as water main and lead service line connection replacements. The City’s goal is to have all lead service line connections replaced by 2027.
Annual street maintenance such as pothole and utility cut repairs, line painting and street sweeping are also underway.
“There will be traffic delays and detours throughout Saskatoon all summer as we work to improve and clean up hundreds of kilometers of roads within a relatively short period of time. We thank residents for their patience and encourage drivers to please slow down and respect work zones.”
For more information on current and future construction, please visit saskatoon.ca/construction.
