Great idea for sure. Good selection of tree types. I wish once in a while they would consider doing some of these on a weekend. They complain that the downtown isn't active outside of the work week and yet continue to hold these events as noon hour activities during the work day. Way to reinforce the work day is the only time downtown matters.

20+ years ago they said they fixed it with a new pumping station. It seemed to work for a while. You can see the pump building on the SW side.

Is this part of the Crosstown Bike Route?

As is the case with many things in the world. You can't fix stupid. Anyone who lives in the city and doesn't know that the underpass flood as soon as there is a downpour is just plain stupid IMHO (exception for out-of-towners)

I don't think so, even though the project was supposed to continue this year after a pause to evaluate the first phase. It would make sense to continue on 14th. The 4 turn zig-zag east of Elphinstone is a bit annoying (just need to knock down 2 houses).

I've been riding 14th from Pasqua to Arcola eastbound quite a bit the past few years and it's a pretty decent route. Just before Arcola I head south on Harvey / Abbot to Mullin and ride over to the Arcola pathway. If it's not busy I sometimes cross Arcola and work my way over to Arens Road to go east.

They really need to add a 4 way stop at 14th and Winnipeg as the visibility is horrible there trying to cross.


edit: I just took another look at the page and it said phase 2 may go "at least as far as Lorne". So maybe the plan IS to have cyclists detour 2 blocks south and cross one of the shittiest roads to cross by bike to continue their journey. If they extend the path further next year I can't see it going any further east than Winnipeg as College gets very narrow after that. So it would probably transition to 17th Ave. I still think 14th is the better option.

A pair of large slip form concrete silos out at the Cargill canola plant went up since the last time I was past there.

[The mayor]

I believe those silos are about 14 stories there is also four shorter one being built , the GTH is the most active construction site in Saskatchewan

I haven't heard much about the Viterra crushing plant lately. I googled some info last night. The Cargill plant is supposed to process 1 million tonnes a year, and the Viterra plant 2.5x as much. Original news releases for Viterra indicated it was supposed to start production late next year, but expect that target has slipped.

Pinkie Road rebuild tender was reposted on Friday. One difference I noticed from the previous tender (I still had a copy) is the addition of an Appendix for a Cultural Artifact Response plan in case artifacts or remains are uncovered. It seems the work will be done this year. Contract to be finalized by July 31, and document mentions of "substantial performance" by November 30 2023.

Anyone know whats going on at the vacant site between PTI and former sears building on park street. It's a huge site and there moving earth around all over it. A PTI expansion perhaps? Eagle builders sign facing ring road

[gecho111]

A pair of new neighborhood postings on the city's proposed development page. 100 pages on Somerset (north of Uplands) and a small change to Coopertown phase 1.
https://www.regina.ca/business-devel...ent/index.html

Somerset where your neighbors are a refinery, steel mill and Canada's largest canola crushing plant.

pg 12 shows the size of the crushing plant and its rail loop.


And possibly a business park in the Evraz buffer zone. If the ring road rail lines are relocated the lower rail line will likely be removed and traffic shifted to the new one heading toward the Viterra plant. Simply building the crushing plant will include building a good chunk the rail that will be required for relocation of CP's line.

It seems like underground infrastructure.

I can't imagine the noise around there. Trains 24 hours per day. Railcars banging. Highways 6 and 11. Also traditionally crush plants are smelly.

Viterra is in the middle of a merger with Bunge. So that might hold up progress on the Regina plant until all the competition board stuff is done
