The third and final round of public and stakeholder engagement for the
Saskatoon Freeway Functional Planning Study has a revised timeline.
In March 2024, we announced plans to hold two public information sessions
for stakeholders, residents and landowners as part of Phase 3. At the time, we
had anticipated the first session would occur in the spring of 2024.
To allow our project team enough time to prepare for these sessions, we have
updated our schedule. The first information session is now planned for the
winter of 2024/25. A second open house will be held in spring 2025.
The first information session will include an in-person opportunity for
discussion and questions with the project team. A virtual open house will be
part of both sessions.
Phase 3 of the Saskatoon Freeway Functional Planning Study is part of a
multi-year functional study. The timeline to construct the Saskatoon Freeway is
at least 15 years away. The Ministry of Highways has assembled a project team
which includes experts from AtkinsRealis, AECOM, and Praxis Consulting to
assist in this long-term planning work.
As each phase of the study is completed and approved, the land required for
the Saskatoon Freeway will become defined, allowing for some temporary
restrictions to be lifted. This will give residents and businesses along the
freeway corridor a better understanding of where and how they may be impacted.
Stay tuned to this blog for dates and details on the public information
sessions.
