The first will go East-West down 23rd Street, and in 2016 a lane will be added running North-South down 4rth Ave. These will add to the existing lanes on Spadina, 4rth Avenue, and the extensive trails along the nearby riverbank. These lanes help Drinkle3 to have Bikescore rating of 99.

Buses Nearby – Drinkle3 is located one block from the City’s central bus terminal from which all routes depart. The City of Saskatoon is also developing plans for a Bus Rapid Transit system which works like a subway system, but above ground with heated stations. The main lines for that system are planned for Third Avenue and also for 22nd Street, both right past Drinkle3.
Third Avenue Streetscape
In 2010 the City of Saskatoon completed streetscaping on our block by adding trees, park benches, old-style light posts, paving stone sidewalks, and more public art.
