I have been seeing billboards around town advertising the new Hawkstone subdivision development on the east end of Rochdale. They now have a website and a PDF with concept plans.

Is that a Roundabout I spy?

I think it is.

Also confirms no interchange with Rochdale and Albert.

What is that 1,000m line for? Assuming something with Ipsco.

Excellent. More Daytona homes.

Residental properties aren't allowed to be within 1000m of Evraz due to pollution and safety reasons. Commercial and Industrial properties are exempt from that rule.

I love the street names in there! Elgaard Drive, Jurasin Street, Poley Street!

One of the best new builders in Regina. Really impressed by their showhomes and the amount you get for your dollar compared to some of the other builders.

Maybe on the inside.

From the outside they are no better than any of the other builders. Would you like beige stucco, or off-beige stucco? Would you like a double garage to dominate the facade, or a triple garage?

Character isn't built, it's created.

There was a time when all of the homes in Cathedral looked identical too. Years of artistic owners and their projects have created the variety of homes you see today.

It was actually Evraz that requested the buffer zone so they would not be faced with NIMBYs moving into their hood.

Very cool to see your first nations people climbing the development ladder. Congrats! I still hope that first nations people really succeed in Canada. I think the next 10 years will be a real change for the better, for everyone.

New homes (particularly the large set backs, vehicular/garage dominance) don't allow for character to grow.

Human interaction is key to cultural and character development. That's why places like the Cathedral area or Broadway in Saskatoon are so successful. And that's why the suburbs will never be.

To an extent, but society, and not the type of home one lives in has a greater impact. As a society, we don't care or want to interact with our neighbour (unless they are unwittingly on one of our online interactions like this one).

Older neighbourhoods had better interaction because people 50 years ago wanted to interact with their neighbours, not because they didn't have a garage in the front of their house.

In part, it's a chicken and egg thing. We don't want to interact with our neighbours so we move to the burbs where we don't have to. I don't think the burbs themselves cause us to not be able to interact.

And, conversely, people who want interaction move to neighbourhoods with more activity, festivals and street life like Cathedral. But even there, I think more and more people are moving to older neighbourhoods not to interact but to have a 'character home'.

As of right now, I'm not a fan of the street names. My first reaction was, "Really?"

Yeah I agree, they are kind of cheesy for sure. The developer probably thinks he'll be able to sell homes more easily to — rider fans if they can live on a 'Rider' street.

This is apparently the new italian restaurant on Quance in which Mayor Fiacco supposedly has involvement.

Looks nice!

Lol! I take it that the porta-potty will not be a part of the restaurant when it's done! ?! ...

Something is being built just west of the new Tim Hortons in the Sherwood Village Mall parking lot. They started the foundation work this week.

Those are better than lots of the names in Stonebridge in Saskatoon. They're all named after notable citizens (I assume), like the majority of neighbourhoods, but Stonebridge got the bottom of the barrel names, it seems.

Laycock Cres.
Chubb Cove
Remple Manor
Assaly St.
