New Multi Use Pathway on Millar Avenue
FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-05
Summary
The Active Transportation Plan approved by Saskatoon City Council in 2016 identified Millar Avenue as a priority for a future All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling route and recommended that sidewalks be installed on at least one side of the street. The project will include the assessment, engagement, and design of a multi-use pathway for Millar Avenue from 43rd Street to Marquis Drive. Multi-use pathways benefit all users, including vulnerable populations. The multi-use pathway will provide connections in the cycling network (existing multi-use pathway on Marquis Drive), to transit service, and is expected to improve the safety of active transportation in the area, in addition to improving access to and within this employment area. The project will include an assessment of the existing conditions along the corridor, identify opportunities and challenges, evaluate alternatives, complete stakeholder engagement, and preparation of the design. Design will consider intersection treatments, appropriate locations for pedestrian ramps, driveway crossing treatments, utility conflicts, and connections to existing facilities, etc. Two rounds of engagement are anticipated.

Description (French)
Le plan de transport actif approuvé par le conseil municipal de Saskatoon en 2016 a désigné l’avenue Millar comme une priorité pour une future piste cyclable pour tous les âges et toutes les capacités, et il a recommandé l’installation de trottoirs sur au moins un côté de la rue. Le projet comprendra l’évaluation, la mobilisation et la conception d’un sentier polyvalent pour l’avenue Millar, qui va de la 43e rue à la promenade Marquis. Les sentiers polyvalents profitent à tous les utilisateurs, y compris les populations vulnérables. Le sentier polyvalent fournira des connexions dans le réseau cyclable (sentier polyvalent existant sur la promenade Marquis) au service de transport en commun, et il devrait améliorer la sécurité du transport actif dans la région, en plus d’améliorer l’accès à cette zone d’emploi et à l’intérieur de celle-ci. Le projet comprendra une évaluation des conditions existantes le long du corridor, la détermination des possibilités et des défis, l’évaluation des solutions de rechange, la mobilisation complète des intervenants et la préparation de la conception. La conception tiendra compte du traitement des intersections, des emplacements appropriés des rampes d’accès pour piétons, du traitement des passages pour piétons, des conflits avec les services publics, des liens avec les installations existantes, etc. Deux rondes de mobilisation sont prévues.
