17th Street & Spadina Crescent West - Traffic Calming
The City of Saskatoon is reviewing traffic calming measures along 17th Street between Avenue H and Spadina Crescent and along Spadina Crescent between 17th Street and Avenue D. Both streets will be addressed together because they have similar concerns related to speeding, shortcutting and pedestrian safety.
The City of Saskatoon developed a draft Traffic Plan that proposes additional traffic calming measures along 17th Street and Spadina Crescent.

Phases
Phase 1: Assessment
Speed and Traffic Volume Studies
Based on a traffic calming requests received in fall 2024, speed and traffic volume studies were undertaken on Spadina Crescent and 17th Street to verify whether they would be eligible for traffic calming.
The results are as follows:
Spadina Crescent between Avenue D and Avenue E
- 85th percentile speed is 55 km/hr; and
- Average daily traffic volume is 3,900 vehicles per day.
17th Street between Avenue H and Avenue E
- 85th percentile speed: 50 km/hr; and
- Average daily traffic volume is 3,000 vehicles per day.
Based on this information, Spadina Crescent and 17th Street are eligible for traffic calming.
Community Support Assessment
The next step in the Traffic Calming process was to ensure that there is minimum community support (25 per cent) to investigate your traffic concerns. In winter 2025 City Administration verified the 31 collected/received signatures for the Spadina Crescent and 17th Street petition area exceeded the required minimum 25 per cent of resident support and will now proceed to Phase 2 of the traffic calming process.
