News Releases

Everyone in Saskatoon is invited to come to one of a series of information events to be held the week of March 17th, 2025, where the future configuration of the Link rapid transit project along College Drive will be displayed and City staff will be available to answer questions. The come-and-go events will be held at various venues along the College corridor and have been scheduled to give several opportunities to come view the designs. This marks a major milestone in the project as construction moves forward toward a goal of a 2028 service launch.

“The College Drive section of the Link route is incredibly important, as it will move a large number of people from, to and through the area,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “These events will give people the opportunity to see where stations will be located as well as give them an idea of how transit, traffic, pedestrians and cyclists will move along College Drive once Link is operational.”

People are invited to attend any of the following events:

March 17
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
University of Saskatchewan Place Riel

March 18
2:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
