This street is much wider west of Broadway Avenue than it is on the opposite side. The reason for this is that the street was widened to accomodate the laying of tracks (eventually double-tracks) on which the Saskatoon Municipal Railroad ran. The streetcars ran from 1913 until the period between 1948-1951 when they were replaced by electric trolley-busses.
