The Saskatoon City Council has voted to allocate $60,000 towards developing a painted bike lane and accompanying bike box at the intersection of College Drive and Wiggins Avenue, fulfilling a request by Tod Fox, whose wife, Natasha, was killed in a tragic accident there last year. This is a significant step towards enhancing cycling safety in the city.
Saskatoon city council is set to discuss the road safety review for the College Drive and Wiggins Avenue intersection Wednesday. The report stems from the death of Natasha Fox, who was struck by a vehicle on her way to work in May 2023, and her husband, Tod, has been vocal about change being needed in the city to prevent any similar incidents. “You now have to act on this study. To not only consider the facts, but to also consider what matters to this community, and to consider what is fair and reasonable,” Tod said in a Reddit post of his speech to council.
