Dudley Street walking and cycling improvements project is complete
December 6, 2024 - 8:30am
The Dudley Street Walking and Cycling Improvements project has been completed, with a 30 kilometre per hour (km/h) speed limit in effect since September 30, 2024. The third neighbourhood bikeway project to be completed in 2024, this joint investment of more than $2.6 million with the Government of Canada through the Active Transportation Fund has supported the construction of vital pedestrian and cycling infrastructure on Dudley Street between Dawes Avenue and Spadina Crescent.
“The Dudley Street improvements make it easier and safer for residents to choose active transportation options like walking and cycling,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation. “These connections are not only practical but also enhance the overall quality of life by linking our neighbourhoods, green spaces and workplaces.”
The project includes the addition of one kilometre of shared-use pathway, 800 metres of neighborhood bikeway and approximately one kilometre of newly installed sidewalk. These enhancements connect residential neighborhoods with key areas such as the West Industrial Area, recreational spaces and the scenic Meewasin Trail along the South Saskatchewan River.
“Whether walking, biking or driving, commuters need to reach their destinations as safely and efficiently as possible. Today’s completion of the Dudley Street Walking and Cycling Improvements project is great news for Saskatoon, providing the community with more options to get around,” says the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
These new facilities will improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists. The City of Saskatoon is committed to promoting active transportation and creating safer, more connected routes throughout the city.
