COMMUNITY INPUT SOUGHT ON DOWNTOWN PLANNING STUDIES – JUNE 20, 2013 The City of Saskatoon is seeking community input on two significant planning initiatives that will intensify the residential, commercial, recreational and retail opportunities in the Downtown and establish a framework for development to support the city as it grows to a population of 500,000 residents.
