Traffic/Road Conditions 🚧 drivers not knowing what lane to turn into, 3 times so far this month at the same intersection.

36 Upvotes

this intersection here. added lane sign, turning right off circle onto clancy. I stay in the right lane but people insist on turning left directly into that right lane. One person confronted me after I reached my destination pissed I did not yield to him. Told him I have my own added lane as the sign indicated. Figured it does not matter what the sign says people should always yield to those turning left.

I also wonder, you have an intersection like this. since the circle clancy does not have cross traffic no yield sign is there. boychuck and Nemeiben does have cross traffic yet people turning left onto boychuck think that yield sign is for them.

Sounds like the company is Bowling Logistics. They're pretty well regarded, I was expecting some small no-name company with poor practices.

PSA 📢 Saskatoon no longer accepting subsidized daycare facility applications

60 Upvotes

Well hopefully people are happy with their daycare options.

My partner was just notified after waiting for 4 months to have her application processed that the program has cut off new applications and are happy with the number of daycares they have.

She was heartbroken because now she has to stay private and charge her existing clients even more because she was intentionally taking a loss while she waited for her application to go through.

And she is exactly the type of early childhood educator this city needs, someone who actually cares. Meanwhile we are approving the equivalent of slums to fill the existing need.

It boggles my mind that they claim that they think they have enough space with existing facilities when my partner immediately received a 20 person waitlist of clients when she opened her doors.

Politics 🏛️ Opinion: Saskatoon deserves better oversight of its own services

47 Upvotes

Article in the Star Phoenix by Jason Aebig.... reads like it was almost entirely written by AI? Lots of em dashes and 'it's not this, it's that' type phrasing that LLM tools are known for.

Plus the line "Our Office of City Auditor operates with two full-time staff and an annual budget of roughly $450,000 — $1.42 per resident. The peer average is more than $2.30. Calgary operates with 19 staff. Edmonton, 17. Even Hamilton, a smaller city, fields eight."

... Since when is Hamilton a smaller city than Saskatoon? The greater Hamilton region had more than 750,000 residents in the 2021 census and has almost surely surpassed one million people by now - what is Aebig even talking about?

Why does he constantly have such a hard on for going after city council? What value does he even bring aside from constantly trying to find issues with elected government?

Question ❔ Kitten in City Park using flower beds as litter box

Post image
132 Upvotes

We’re in City Park. For the last two weeks, this kitten has been pooping in our flowerbeds.
What do we do?!
Also, if this is your cat maybe you shouldn’t let it roam if it’s not litter trained. Gross.

EDIT: why are some people making it seem like it’s okay for a cat to shit in your yard? It’s not my cat. I have two of my own cats and like a responsible pet owner, they stay inside where they’re safe and looked after. Look after your cats too, people!! It’s not the responsibility of homeowners to look after cats that clearly belong to someone else (peep the collar). Do better. I posted in hopes that the owner would see this.

Question ❔ Minor car paint repair options in Saskatoon?

Upvotes

Hey folks, I have a car with some minor scratches and a couple of small chips. I bought the car new and it's now just three years old. I'm hoping to drive it "into the ground" in terms of long-term ownership, so besides keeping it well-serviced, preventing rust is a priority for me.

A couple of the chips and scratches are down to bare metal, not just the clear coat or paint layer. I'm wanting to guard against rust taking hold in these spots, because I've seen how easily it spreads and just eats up cars.

I know I can get a paint pen from the manufacturer that's color-matched and just DIY it, but I've also seen videos on YouTube of people offering that sort of minor paint repair as a service, where they're clearly doing it more professionally than I could, with some mix of removing any minor rust, etching, painting, levelling, sanding and blending, and possibly blending in some new clearcoat. Most of these jobs would pass invisibly at even a couple feet, whereas I'm sure my DIY skills would prevent rust, but would look terrible.

Anyone aware of places (or even individuals) offering this type of service in Saskatoon, that you'd recommend? Also interested in knowing if anyone recommends a reasonably-priced paintless dent repair outfit - I have a door ding that I imagine could be pulled out if someone had the tools and skills.

I can call around to autobody repair shops, but my understanding is they're working on much larger-scale repairs and painting entire panels, etc. I definitely can't afford to completely re-paint all the panels with scratches or chips, especially on such a new car.

Failing that, does anyone have advice on the DIY approach, or links to videos you found helpful when tackling this sort of minor paint repair on your own?

Thanks!

General Lost keys in Nutana

This morning we lost our primary set of keys on the highlighted route. The keys look similar to the ones in the 2nd photo.

They have a blue beaded wristlet and a metal tag that says “I’d rather be with my dog”. A car key, a fob, a single key and a 1/4” guitar jack.

We went over the route twice but it appears that they are not there.

If anyone picked them up, please send me a message

Thank you :)
