Rapid Transit in Saskatoon

I haven’t read everything in depth but has there been mention of bike transport using the front of BRT busses as exists on current ones? I live and work not far from planned BRT stops but having the ability to bike to/from would just add to the convienience.

I really like the 1st to Idylwyld option for the blue line when compared to Broadway for the river crossing, but it underserves downtown where there needs to be at least a couple stations. it is apparent to me when trying to decide which one is best how valuable the victoria/traffic bridge could have been if they thought ahead a little before choosing the design.
