I like their tenders and chicken sandwiches. I've never actually had their actual pieces of chicken.

I love Popeyes tenders, blackened ranch sauce to die for..I couldn't understand why one wasent built in the north end earlier, you literally have to drive to the one on Albert Street for the north end. If I was into running business, I would have invested in a north end location my self long time ago. Will absolutely crush it

“The Downtown Welcome Services Pavillion on the west end of Pat Fiacco Plaza will be converted into a permanent downtown washroom.

Here are few more details regarding this project:

The services currently in the Downtown Welcome Services Pavillion will move to the Pat Fiacco Rink Shack, which will become a permanent facility located on the existing foundation, on the east end of the Plaza.

Regina Downtown Business Improvement District will turn the Pavillion over to the City of Regina in mid-October.

The Pavillion will then be converted into a permanent all-gender, accessible washroom, including space for on-site security or another agency who can provide supervision during operating hours.

Permanent washrooom construction is expected to be complete in late-December, depending on contractor availability.” - Councillor Andrew Stevens Facebook

On-site security? Is that 24/7? That would be about $500K per year.

Also does this mean Vic Park is going to be full of campers? Is that a good idea?

It's already pretty much that. Saw the usual people walking between the fencing and the demolition site yesterday morning.

Downtown is an incredibly crappy place these days. Good luck getting anyone wanting to visit the area if they aren't there for work.

There was a glimmer of decent things happening in the core prior to covid hitting the downtown around March 2020. I think we're going to see at least a decade of more decay before anything starts to really change.

A few pics from various days this week. https://imgur.com/a/UrH658i

South Albert Ring Road bridge work seems to be coming to a close with the paving done. Rode past the Rapid Housing site this morning while detouring around Albert Street paving. Also passed by the General Hospital, the area for the new parkade is fenced off, the only work I've noticed so far is removal of the light poles.

A lot of progress on the new Francophone school on 2nd Ave N where Ken Jenkins school used to be. Last time I was past there in the spring they hadn't even started.

Some land south of the bypass diverging diamond interchange appears to be getting developed, both north and south of the service road. There's been a sign for a coop cardlock south of the service road for several years now.

I don't see underground parking? I just see a garage of sorts but all surface at the rear of the building. A complete waste on an in-fill site. Living in the neighborhood I support the density but if there was underground parking the building could be setback from the street which would lessen the impact. sharp building.

On the site plan you can see what looks like a driveway with ingress/egress arrows on the east side. There are only about 60 surface spots so it must have underground, especially if it has a daycare.

Interesting to see the post on the new francophone school, followed shortly by the post on development on the Ecole de parc site on douglas avenue. The two are likely related events/ Ever since the catholic system left that site that land was eventually going to have something done to it.

Councilor Bresciani is the developer.

Her husband closed the school site and bought the land with no public bid.

As much as I'd love to blame her, that's simply not true.

The school was publicly listed for sale and sold to Regina Christian School who is subdividing off the lot for this project.

You clearly struggle with reading comprehension.
