Neighbourhood Planning
Neighbourhood Planning consists of activities intended to revitalize and build capacity in core neighbourhoods, monitor safety and work to reduce crime in neighbourhoods, and collaborate on projects that affect established neighbourhoods.
Local Area Planning
Local Area Planning gives residents an active role in determining the future of their neighbourhood. Residents, business owners, property owners, community groups, volunteers and other stakeholders form a partnership with the City of Saskatoon to develop goals and strategies aimed at improving the long-term success of their community. The completed plan, often called a LAP, contains specific recommendations for short, medium, and long term improvements.
Neighbourhood Safety
The Neighbourhood Safety Program works with community members and groups, civic administration, and other groups to conduct Risk Assessments, Safety Audits and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Reviews, based on the principles of CPTED.
CPTED Review Committee
The City of Saskatoon has adopted, and is applying, the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to ensure a process of safe growth in the city. Safety is embedded as a fundamental value in the City's Official Community Plan (OCP) and is accompanied by a set of CPTED principles for achievement. These principles are applied to most civic structures, facilities and developments.
Vacant Lot & Adaptive Reuse Strategy
The Vacant Lot & Adaptive Reuse Incentive Program is designed to encourage development on existing vacant or brownfield sites, and the reuse of vacant buildings in established areas of the city, including the City Centre, by providing financial and/or tax based incentives to owners of eligible properties.
South Caswell Redevelopment
The South Caswell Redevelopment Project is a partnership between Saskatoon Land and the Planning and Development Department. The purpose of the project is to pursue the sale and redevelopment of the former Saskatoon Transit sites in accordance with community goals and objectives outlined in the South Caswell Concept Plan. The sites include the former Bus Barns, Administration Building and the north Maintenance Building.
Imagine Idylwyld
Imagine Idylwyld is a planning, transportation and design initiative to improve the function, safety and connectivity along Idylwyld Drive, between 20th Street and 25th Street East.
Pleasant Hill Village
Pleasant Hill Village is located 1.6km due west of Downtown along 20th Street West, across from St. Paul’s Hospital in the heart of the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood. The project started in 2006 when federal, provincial, and municipal governments partnered with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division to acquire and redevelop the 13-acre site. The project has close ties both to its surrounding neighbourhood and to community partners.
