McOrmond Drive (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan)

McOrmond Drive is a road serving the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It begins as a grid road at 8th Street East outside of Saskatoon, and runs through the Corman Park Rural Municipality, before turning into a minor arterial road at a signalized intersection at Highway 5 (College Drive). The road was originally a collector road prior to growth in the city's northeast sector. as Erindale and Arbor Creek finished completion and with the growth of both the Willowgrove neighborhood and the University Heights Suburban Centre, McOrmond expanded into a four lane arterial roadway in 2003. It will be further expanded with future growth in the northeast sector in years to come. In July 2008, the city released a concept plan for the Evergreen neighborhood, which sees McOrmond go through the Agriculture Canada research farms and meet up with Fedoruk Drive before curving east to meet with either Highway 41 or a proposed Perimeter Highway.
