Meeting feedback prompts updated shelter safety plan
September 20, 2024 - 5:19pm
- Chain-link fence around the former Saskatchewan Transportation Company parcel service building, ensuring no access off Pacific Avenue.
- Facility access only from Ontario Avenue
- 7-day per week, extended hour security/support dedicated to the downtown with a proactive priority focus on the vicinity around the proposed shelter.
After hearing feedback from the nearby residents and businesses, the City is proposing changes to the site plan that would be put in place at the provincial government-funded shelter at 210 Pacific Avenue.
Details of the plan were finalized earlier Friday. Among the proposed measures:
Additionally, an integrated operating plan between the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatoon Fire Department outlines the essential safety and security support for The Mustard Seed while they would operate the temporary enhanced emergency shelter along with assistance for downtown residents, businesses and community at large.
There will be coordinated communications and information sharing among The Mustard Seed, Saskatoon Police and the Saskatoon Fire Department to better address emerging concerns and to be pro-active before issues arise.
The City agreed to find and propose locations that will meet certain criteria and best suit the needs of the community. The Government of Saskatchewan continues to work with the City of Saskatoon as they work to identify a permanent location to accommodate 60 spaces.
If the proposed temporary site receives the necessary approvals by City Council on Wednesday, September 25, it is anticipated to open as a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency shelter in winter 2024.
