Rosewood is a proposed neighbourhood located in southeast Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The southwest corner of the community will consist of a commercial hub and multi-family dwellings, while a village square with businesses, parks and multi-family dwellings is planned for the center of the neighbourhood.[1] Housing will consist of approximately 2750 single-unit dwellings, 1350 low density townhouse units, and 175 medium density apartment style units.[2] Between 2022 and 2025, Rosewood will reach completion and have an estimated population of 11,000.[3]

[edit] History
The land where Rosewood is planned to exist was annexed between 1980 and 1984.[4] Servicing of the land began in 2008.
[edit] Government and politics
When completed, Rosewood will exist within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon—Humboldt. It is currently represented by Brad Trost of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 2004 and re-elected in 2006.
Provincially, the area is within the constituency of Saskatoon Southeast. It is currently represented by Don Morgan of the Saskatchewan Party, first elected in 2003 and re-elected in 2007.
In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Rosewood will lie within ward 9. It is currently represented by Councillor Tiffany Paulsen, first elected in 2000 and re-elected in 2003 and 2006.
[edit] Institutions
The current proposal shows land allocated for two schools at the center of the neighbourhood.[1]
[edit] Parks and recreation
The current drawings show a core neighbourhood park at the center of the neighbourhood adjacent to the school and mixed-use "village square" sites. Linear parks link to two neighbourhood parks closer to the east and west peripheries, and two small "pocket" parks in the northeast part of the neighbourhood.[1]
[edit] Commercial
The plans for Rosewood show two dedicated commercial zones: one at the southwest entrance to the neighbourhood, and the other surrounding the village square. Another mixed-use site in the northeast is another possible location for businesses.[1] Rosewood is located adjacent to the Lakewood Suburban Centre which already has established commercial development.
[edit] Location
Rosewood is located within the Lakewood Suburban Development Area. It is bounded by the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks and a future highway right-of-way to the east, Highway 16 to the south, Boychuk Drive to the west, and Taylor Street to the north. Inside those boundaries, the roads are a mix of local and collector roads.
The current proposal shows that Rosewood will have access points on all four sides of the community, including an access to Highway 16 to the south and the proposed Perimeter Highway to the east. There will be two access roads off Taylor Street, plus one off Boychuk Drive which will double as an eastern extension of Kingsmere Boulevard.[1]
The City of Saskatoon has yet to announce the theme for naming of streets in Rosewood. The concept plan shows several major access streets labelled Rosewood, suggesting the communtiy may follow the same naming pattern used by Stonebridge, Willowgrove and Hampton Village in assigning the community name to major access routes and using other names for the side streets.
