Millar Ave in Saskatoon

Connecting Millar Avenue

The City of Saskatoon reviewed the intersection of 51st Street East and Millar Avenue to identify a permanent design that addresses the safety and operational issues that exist at this intersection.

Map of area

The City of Saskatoon is reviewing Millar Avenue (from 43rd Street to Marquis Drive) for the assessment, engagement, and design of walking and cycling facilities. As part of Saskatoon’s Active Transportation Plan’s (AT Plan) implementation strategy to have shelf-ready plans, the outcome of this project is to plan and design walking and cycling facilities, and does not include construction. Additionally, this project will address the lack of a sidewalk network along Millar Avenue and will NOT be taking away vehicle travel lanes in the design.

Please note: This project was moved from our previous engagement website, and some of the tools and information may appear different than originally designed or other projects on this platform.

Round 2: Engage on the Proposed Design Options

January 25, 2025 5:00 AM - January 27, 2025 5:59 AM

The second round of engagement (February 2025), which consisted of an online survey and an open house, gathered feedback on the options evaluation and the recommended option.

Comments in support of the project typically addressed traffic congestion and safety, while comments opposed to the project typically addressed funding, snow clearing, and access to businesses. Some respondents felt that more needed to be done to address cycling and pedestrian safety. Maintaining business access during construction was raised as a significant concern.
