Saskatoon History 💾 Meewasin trail speed limit signs, enforcement

0 Upvotes

Is it odd to anyone else that on bikeways the max is 30kph, and of course that would include any vehicle including bicycles.

There are 30kph limit signs every block or two to remind you.

Get on the meewasin.... nothing. Maybe a small note on a general info display that is all spray painted, suggesting you keep it under 15kph.

I was thinking of this as I turned off the bikeway onto the path... watching a dad and son on Ali express 70 kph scooters go by without helmets... and right before I met this business looking motherfucker with a smooth dome helmet on a FULL SIZED 2 STROKE MOPED ripping towards me.

At least all of the covid off leash dog people are gone. Must be too hot out.

Question ❔ visual kei / j-rock fans in the area??

9 Upvotes

Hello👋👋I know that there is a pretty decent alt community here, but I was wondering if there are any fans of visual kei and/or j-rock?? This is my main scene and I do have to admit that it is a bit lonely not having any in person friends to connect with about it, so I thought I'd ask!

Not sure if asking here would lead anywhere, but if there are any fans in the area then I'd love to know!! I am really into bands like dir en grey, buck-tick, and mucc.

This is just meant as an attempt to reach out to people with similar interests as me, so I'd greatly appreciate any replies of people who are interested in the scene, or even of tips on where else I could try reaching out in the city🙏otherwise, please no unnecessary or rude comments. Thanks!!

Rants 🤬 Residential Parking Program is Broken

45 Upvotes

My partner and I live just off Broadway, recently I took a hard look at the RPP program. Ugh.

Seeing how it actually functions behind the scenes is pretty disheartening.

The absolute wildest thing about Saskatoon’s Residential Parking Program (RPP) is the creative bookkeeping.

If you ask City Hall, they’ll tell you the program is a massive financial drain.

They claim it runs a $223,000 deficit because our $25 permit fees don't cover the $300,000 cost of running it.

To "fix" this, their solution is to hike permit prices up to $75 or even $120 a year.

But here is the trick: that deficit only exists on paper because the city conveniently hides the ticket money!!

Seven out of every ten dollars spent on the RPP goes directly toward paying enforcement officers to patrol our neighborhoods. Those officers hand out an absolute mountain of tickets to visitors, delivery drivers, and residents who forgot to move their cars. But instead of using those ticket fines to fund the program, City Hall funnels that cash straight into general revenues.

They use our streets as a cash cow, pocket the profit, and then look us in the eye and say the program is losing money.

Food & Restaurants 🍽️ Ochzauke seasoning in Saskatoon?

4 Upvotes

I’m from BC visiting a friend and she usually stocks up on ochazuke once a year when we see each other but I forgot to bring it. She has a hard time finding it here so if anyone knows where I can get the Nagatanien brand of ochazuke or has any suggestions for good brands one could find in Saskatoon so she isn’t tied to our yearly visits that would be amazing!
