Saskatoon, SK
Saskatoon wants to widen a busy stretch of Circle Drive from four lanes to six. The goal? Smoother traffic flow and fewer accidents. Right now, traffic signals and left-turn exits create bottlenecks. The city is gathering feedback on how to fix it.
Why This Matters: Drive this stretch of Circle Drive? You know the frustration. Traffic backs up at signals, and merging can feel risky. If you commute through west Saskatoon or head to the airport, this plan could change your daily drive.
