33rd Street will be closed at 6th Avenue starting on Friday, July 5, at 9:00 a.m. for water main work. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take two days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As part of an ongoing City of Saskatoon (City) commitment to improve road safety for all users, 30 kilometre per hour (km/h) speed limits will come into effect on Friday, July 5 on:

• 23rd Street West between Vancouver Avenue North and Avenue C North
• Avenue I between the north and south legs of 23rd Street West
• 14th Street East between Saskatchewan Crescent East and Cumberland Avenue

A new policy pertaining to reduced speed limits for neighbourhood bikeways was approved by City Council in December 2023 and the City began installing new speed limit signs last month.

The 23rd Street neighbourhood bikeway, established as a priority cycling route in 2011, offers a connection for cyclists traveling between Downtown and Blairmore. The 14th Street neighbourhood bikeway was identified in the Active Transportation Plan and connects the Meewasin Trail to several residential neighbourhoods.

A 30 km/h speed limit is an important component of a neighbourhood bikeway to help create an environment that is comfortable for all levels of cyclists. For more information on neighbourhood bikeways visit saskatoon.ca/bikewayspeedlimits.

The Circle Drive southbound ramp to College Drive westbound will be closed starting on Friday, July 5, at 6:30 p.m. for road resurfacing. Detours will be in place each night guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take two nights to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce Celene Anger as the City’s new General Manager of Community Services. Ms. Anger will begin her new role on July 15, 2024, replacing outgoing General Manager Lynne Lacroix whose retirement was announced earlier this year.

“Celene is an experienced leader with a passion for innovation, strategic thinking and relationship building,” says City Manager, Jeff Jorgenson. “She has demonstrated collaborative and values-based leadership throughout her career at the City and has a broad range of experience from overseeing major construction and design projects to leading several significant change and transformation projects across the organization. She is in a great position to oversee the important civic programs, services and infrastructure the Community Services division provides to the community.”

Celene’s extensive career at the City spans over a decade in various roles of increasing responsibility and leadership. In 2013, she first joined the City as a Project Engineer, later becoming Director of Construction and Design from 2015 to 2019 overseeing Broadway water, sewer and roadway rehabilitation and the first phases of Aspen Ridge and Kensington. After a short-term secondment as Chief Operating Officer at Remai Modern, Celene then joined the City’s executive leadership team as Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer in 2020.

“During her time as Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, Celene has done a great job building a strong and effective team and leaves behind a solid foundation for the future growth and success of the Strategy and Transformation Division. And I have no doubt that she will continue to be successful in her new role with the exceptionally strong Community Services team”, said Jorgenson.

The City of Saskatoon congratulates Celene Anger on this new role, and we look forward to her continued contributions to making Saskatoon a great place to live, work, learn and play.
