Thanks to monies received from the Traffic Safety Fund, accumulated from fines for speeding, the City of Saskatoon was able to put in an illuminated crossing for both pedestrians and cyclists at Clarence Avenue and 14th Street.
Early this year, the City received a $45,000 grant to install signage, special illumination and amber flashing beacons at the intersection and it is the first pedestrian-cyclist actuated signal in Saskatoon.
The Director of Transportation, Jay Magus, says it made sense to add the cyclist signal as well because 14th Street is a shared use on road cycling lane.
