A developer wants to rezone a property in Saskatoon's Varsity View neighbourhood from institutional to mixed-use. The goal? Combine it with two neighbouring properties to build medium-density housing or commercial space along the future bus rapid...
Why This Matters: Live in Varsity View or near College Drive? This could change what gets built next door. The rezoning would allow taller buildings with apartments, shops, or offices. It's part of Saskatoon's push to add housing along transit routes.

Why This Matters: Take the bus in Saskatoon? This will change your daily commute. You might walk farther to a stop, but wait less for a bus. Off-peak riders could finally get reliable service outside rush hour. The trade-offs affect everyone differently—students, shift workers, seniors.
