Dundonald is one of many subdivisions of the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan which was built in the 1980s, and until recently was the furthest north west quarter of the city of Saskatoon. The North West Development area is some of the latest land to be annexed by the city of Saskatoon, however is still zoned DAG1,2, and 3, which is agricultural land as of 2007. Dundonald surrounds a large landscaped park which hosts many soccer and baseball games. Most of the population works in sales & service, followed closely by those employed in the trades, transport, equipment operator, business, finance, and administration.[2] In comparison the neighbourhood of Dundonald with a 2001 census population of 5,285 [3] is larger than the Saskatchewan city of Melville which had a population of 4,149 in 2006, and 4,453 in 2001 and Dundonald is also larger than the provincial city of Humboldt which was 4,998 in 2006, and 5,161 in 2001.

[edit] City Transit

[edit] Layout
33rd Street is to the south and 37th Street to the north, and whereas these two streets run parallel to each other, there are no other numbered streets throughout the neighbourhood, Originally the grid layout was going to continue before the city decided to develop with the crescents and cul-de-sac layout instead. If the grid system would have continued, Present day roads Makaroff Road, 300 block of Nesbitt Crescent, 100 block of Flavelle Crescent and the northern leg of Lennon Crescent would be parallel to 34th Street. Kirkpatrick Court, Nesbitt Lane, Murray Place and the southern leg of Robinson Crescent would be parallel to 35th Street while the 300 block of Kirkpatrick Crescent, 100 & 200 blocks of Sumner Crescent and the 400 block of Nesbitt Crescent would run parallel to 36th Street. This neighbourhood constructed in the 1980s abandoned the grid style of road layout, leaving 33rd & 37th Streets the remaining numeric ones in the neighbourhood. Junor Avenue marks the eastern boundary and Hughes Drive serves as the western boundary.
