SASKATOON TRANSIT EXPERIENCING DELAYS AND DIFFICULTIES WITH OVERLOADED BUSES
Every September, Saskatoon Transit and its customers experience an adjustment period as ridership numbers jump significantly to accommodate students returning to school and regular commuters returning from summer vacation. Saskatoon Transit is making adjustments to its service to accommodate these increases in capacity by placing extra buses in service to handle the most critical overloading and scheduling issues. We also remind passengers that some buses may not stop if they are already at capacity, and to please be patient as another bus should be along shortly.
This year, the adjustment period includes increased traffic restrictions due to the significant number of roadway, bridge and water and sewer projects under construction. We expect this pressure to ease as construction season wraps up.
Saskatoon Transit apologizes for the inconvenience experienced by some of its customers and thanks all customers for their continued patience. Saskatoon Transit is working hard to resolve concerns.

It's Your Campus. It's Your USSU.
The University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU) Executive announced today a formal offer of congratulations to the City of Saskatoon over the instalment of bicycle lanes in the downtown core.
In offering their congratulations, all Executive members will be taking part in the “Thank-You-Ride-a-Thon” scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. on September 28, in downtown Saskatoon.
“We fully endorse and support the City’s decision to create these lanes for biking, said USSU President Warren Kirkland. “Cycling is an increasingly popular mode of transportation in growing urban areas, and it’s very heartening to see our city take this progressive step.”
The city began painting bicycle lanes in late July to encourage more active transportation and to enable safe ridership within the downtown area. The city’s decision to develop biking lanes was in response to a local lobbying effort that culminated in a recent visit by world-renewed urban planner Jan Gehl, who recommended that bike lanes be implemented.
Mr. Kirkland noted that many students and people who work at the U of S are active cyclists. “We hope the city and the university continue their commitments toward encouraging active transportation options, and make more lanes beyond the downtown core.
“Ideally we’d like to see new lanes on campus and in other parts of the city to provide additional safety to cyclists, and to encourage others to start using bikes instead of cars.”
Kirkland said reaction from students at the U of S has been very positive so far.
“I’ve heard from students that they are very happy with the progress that’s being made, so we’re proud to be a part of today’s thank-you event.
“The Executive will be there to give thanks, and we hope that other students will join us in praising the City for doing the right thing.”

The USSU announced today that the offices for many of its Centres, including the Pride, Women’s, Food, and Victim Advocate, are to be temporarily relocated to the Lower Level of Saskatchewan Hall.
The relocation is expected to be completed within six weeks (approximately the end of February).
The USSU Main Office currently located in Lower Place Riel, is also scheduled to relocate to the first floor of the Memorial Union Building (MUB), to take the space currently occupied by the USSU Women’s Centre, Pride Centre and Victim Advocate.
The decision to relocate the Centres was due to office location adjustments needed to prepare for the renovation of the Place Riel Student Centre. While final University Board of Governors approval has not been provided, it is widely anticipated that the renovation project will begin as early as April of this year.
USSU President Josie Steeves said the USSU was left with little choice but to relocate the Centres because of a recent decision by the University’s Facilities Management Division (FMD).
“We had originally planned to move many of the administrative offices currently located in Lower Place Riel to Lower Sask Hall,” said Steeves. “However, FMD determined that there were too many staff and Executive members to occupy the available space in Sask Hall, which left us with little option but to move administrative offices into the MUB.”
The USSU also reached an agreement with FMD to provide necessary upgrades to Lower Sask Hall to accommodate for the USSU Centres.
“FMD said that the USSU Centres can relocate to Lower Sask Hall only after upgrades to the ventilation system are made,” said Steeves. “We will also upgrade the quality of the rooms with re-carpeting and repainting.”
Relocation of the USSU Centres and administration is expected to last approximately 18 months.
“Obviously this is not an ideal situation for everyone involved, but there’s a big reward at the end of the tunnel,” said Steeves. “Eventually the Centres will move back to the MUB, and students at the University will have first class student centre that will serve their needs for many years to come.”

The Undergraduate Forum will provide leadership on behalf of the University community regarding best practices in undergraduate education, student retention and success, and other aspects of the undergraduate experience on our campus. It will also develop recommendations for policy development and the coordinated application of existing policies across the University."
Student representatives will be expected to attend monthly meetings of the Forum (normally two hours/month), participate in discussions regarding issues of interest and concern to undergraduate students on our campus, and potentially volunteer from time to time to work with other members of the Forum to collect additional information, survey and provide student opinions on a variety of topics, and make recommendations as to how the student experience on our campus can be improved.

The USSU is pleased to work in cooperation with the University of Saskatchewan to ensure that each year there is a full compliment of elected Student Senators. According to the University of Saskatchewan Act, Senate is responsible for recommendations regarding the establishment or disestablishment of any college, school, or department; appointing examiners for and making bylaws respecting the conduct of examinations for professional societies; the granting of honorary degrees, and non-academic student discipline. The Act also specifies that Senate will have six Student Senators elected by the University’s largest constituent group, undergraduate students. In normal circumstances Student Senators are elected during the General Election in March. However, this year there is a need for a by-election to fill four of the Senate places. This by-election will take place on October 8th and 9th through voting on PAWS. Be sure to vote and have your voice count.
