With it getting dark earlier I'm starting to notice the few remaining places with low pressure sodium lighting is City of Regina properties. Parks, community centre and sport facility parking lots. SaskPower replaced nearly every streetlight in the entire city in just a few years. The provincial government updated their properties (Wascana Park, Sask Poly etc). But the city itself has done practically nothing.

Just saw a tender looking for a firm to design a widening of the Ring Road to 3 lanes between Dewdney and Ross in both direction and update the ramps.

Design tenders for next year's construction projects should start popping up over the next month.

... but they will still reduce it to one lane every single year for bridge repairs?

"The Regina Food Bank (Food Bank) has been actively searching for a new property to expand their services within the community. The Food Bank has entered into a conditional purchase agreement for the building located at 1881 Broad Street and in support of the development planned for that location, would like to lease the City-owned property located across the lane at 1720 12th Avenue. Along with the lease request, the Food Bank is requesting a one-time contribution of $200,000 to assist in the development of the property and seeking a property tax exemption on both properties as well as support to rezone as necessary."

1881 Broad St is the old liquor store. The 12th Ave property appears to be an empty lot, probably parking knowing our city. This looks like a good move. Better location accessible by transit. And it's more real development downtown.

The empty lot is the former Queen City Cleaners brownfield. It is used for laydown for the police station construction and road work, but not parking. It is in the background here c. 1970:

More details from Alexander Quon

Regina Food Bank set to create new food hub downtown

Interesting part is this is an expansion, not a replacement for Winnipeg St. I'm not sure I love the idea that the empty lot is a planned drive-through for the food bank. Good old Regina car culture! But maybe I'm wrong and there are a ton of people driving to the food bank. If approved, renovations on the Broad St building to start in the spring and to take 18 months.

Great News and Great Location. the Neighborhood needs it for sure with its growth the last few years. Its kind of hard to believe that Station 5 is covering all of Greens/Eastbrook and essentially the Creeks. Glad to see the Investment in Protective Service Infrastructure.

Italian Star signage is up. Looks great.

It's a shame they went for the godawful low-rent Disney Italian building.

Lol I was just thinking that when I was getting a sandwich there on Saturday. Our city really has no standards.

Ruh roh. The Semples aren't going to be happy about that. The fact the library has the lowest negative ratings does give me hope for humanity.

This quote from Tim Reid made me lol:

If we can’t make our city attractive, for labour, for skillsets, for the best of the best, then ultimately we will jeopardize some of these head offices that call Regina home.

People aren't leaving the city because we are lacking these venues...

prairieguy · #**2177** Posted **Dec 12, 2022, 2:24 PM**

I would agree people would not leave due to a 'lack of these venues', but it certainly does not hurt in terms of attracting NEW residents to be able to say you DO have these venues.

You apparently don't understand Italians.

The problem is focusing on bringing people and entertainment money from elsewhere (its not created out of thin air), instead of creating a sustainable city for the people already here. Didn't the pandemic prove that the sports/entertainment industry isn't a very reliable source of revenue? Hell, the Riders have sold out only a handful of games at the new stadium since it opened. The Grey Cup wasn't sold out. If the existing options aren't being utilized, what makes anyone think a brand new arena or aquatic facility will be any different?
