Hey Zoomer, that pic would be from earlier this fall. It's blurry but Baydo is there.
In the foreground is the Broadway District/Nutana neighbourhood. It is by most measures the more successful "urban" mixed-use area than Downtown, and a few of those buildings are new within the last 5 years. The majority of development proposals are in that area right now, so the Nutana "skyline" could really transform in the coming years.
Yes, those roads are wide! They were surveyed by the Temperance Colonists who established Saskatoon in the Broadway area in the 1880s. They had puritanical town planning ideas and believed that generous streets, access to light, greenery, and open space would prevent societal ills. The treed medians make for some really lovely and desirable streets today.
