Transportation
[edit | edit source]The neighbourhoods are served by Central Avenue, McOrmond Drive, Fedoruk Drive, Attridge Drive which are main streets of the city. There will be a perimeter highway around the northern sector.[3] Saskatchewan Highway 5 enters this north eastern sector of Saskatoon. SK Hwy 5 runs connects Humboldt, and Kamsack to the Manitoba border.
In May 2013 the City confirmed plans to build a north commuter bridge connecting with a northwestern extension of McOrmond Drive within the sector . Completed in the late 2010s, the new bridge/McOrmond extension connects directly with Marquis Drive on the west side and provide an alternate city bypass route to Circle Drive, while also establishing the groundwork for future road connections to yet-to-be-developed neighbourhoods on the north side of the sector .
