Bulging neighbourhoods push wards` boundaries
SASKATOON -- Saskatoon`s growth in the east is forcing a rejigging of civic ward boundaries that could see two more wards straddling the river.
Wards 10 (east of the river and Circle Drive and north of College Drive) and 9 (east of Circle and south of Eighth Street) grew so fast according to the 2006 census that they`re each more than 10 per cent larger than the average ward size.
Wards 5 (the northern tip of the city including Lawson Heights, the airport area, industrial areas and Silverwood Heights) and 2 (core neighbourhoods plus Montgomery Place) dropped to more than 10 per cent below the average.
