Don't forget 13th Avenue and Regent Park Safeways when talking about west side people and large scale grocers.
I think the lines are being blurred in this city between what is acceptable/tolerable and what is convenient. Sure we'd all love to have amenities within 5-10 minutes but generally that won't be that case.
I would also say that 25 minutes is pushing it to get somewhere in Regina in less you take the longest way possible that involves several traffic lights and rush hour traffic.
I'm not saying i'm opposed to a developer wanting to build a new subdivision out there - sure the Dieppe people and employees at the GTH will love it, but do i think the city needs it (right now) in general? Absolutely not.
