I would like to point out that if construction is outside the scope of ten years, and we assume construction would take five years, Saskatoon, Warmen, and Martinsville may have double the current population by the time the freeway is built.

I for one appreciate that the city is conducting the studies now because proactive planning is always better than reactive adjustments.

I also know that civic/provincial/federal budgets are a zero-sum game, but building a freeway doesn't necessarily hamper the ability to also improve public transportation. In fact routing semis outside of the city may (hopefully) make traffic flow better inside of the city!
