The bus rapid transit system in Saskatoon could see a name change and some expansion across the city.
Wednesday’s governance and priorities committee discusses a new brand and renaming for the BRT system to Link. A separate report also delves into the upcoming phase-ins and expansions of the BRT lines.
The report to the committee says $250 million in project funding from the Investing in Canada’s Infrastructure Program has been green-lit, with $183,325,000 contributed by other orders of government.
It said detailed design, procurement and construction can begin with 14 BRT stations anticipated for the 2024 construction season.
