City of Saskatoon celebrates construction of more than 5 km of new sidewalks

Good news, Saskatoon! The City has built over 5.3 km of brand-new sidewalks throughout our community in 2023!  

Expanding the sidewalk network supports the Active Transportation Plan goals of creating more places for walking, safer walking and making walking a more convenient and attractive choice for moving around. 

The Sidewalk Infill Program focusses on eliminating gaps in the existing sidewalk network by completing the design and construction of new sidewalks adjacent to existing arterials, collectors and local streets. 

$5 million in federal funding from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) has supported the project, helping to reduce pollution, build vibrant, inclusive and strong neighbourhoods and provide access to clean, modern services for families. 

This move toward better infrastructure isn't just about sidewalks; it's about building a greener, more connected and resilient city for everyone. Let's step forward together towards a brighter, more accessible future!
