Public consultation process will ask people to weigh in on two possible locations.
On Monday, city council will be asked to approve an assessment from city staff that has determined that either the parking lot located just north of the Midtown Plaza mall or the city yards located in north downtown are the sites that could accommodate a facility with capacity similar to the existing SaskTel Centre.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.
Five sites were originally considered after council decided in 2018 that a replacement for SaskTel Centre ought to be in the city centre. Three of the sites were eliminated from consideration because they simply aren’t large enough to fit the proposed building, according to a city media release issued Wednesday.Article content
City technical services director Dan Willems noted in the media release that the location near Midtown scores the highest of the two, based on evaluation criteria approved by council earlier this year.
A council vote on Monday in favour of the report would trigger the launch of a public consultation process that would run from Aug. 30 through Oct. 3, including both telephone and online surveys of residents.
