Eh, many airports are named after top military officials as well -like O'Hare in Chicago and Logan in Boston -

I can do one better, 2:00 am going to work. Going down the ring road south. Every street light from Winnipeg overpass to McDonald overpass not working. Semi trailer with the larger trailer going north on the south bound lane. This was 3 - 4 months ago.

Just checked sasktel's coverage maps for 4G and LTE.

Chunks of south Regina - Albert Park South and Whitmore park as well as Varsity Park have sketchy coverage. However the farm fields south and south east of the city appear to have good coverage.
apparently they need to construct a tower or two in the south end. Has anyone noticed poor coverage or are their maps just wonky?

I wouldn't call Lt(jg) O'Hare a top military official, he was a Medal of Honor recepiant though. He was the USN's first ace in WWII. He was later killed in 1943.

Yes, YWG got it right. (And it is labelled as such in the CFS and CAP.) I was referring to major Canadian airports. South of the border though, airports could be named after anyone/anything.

Really?!! That is awesome!!! (But I'm not surprised.) I wonder how many neighbourhoods [Canada-wide] possess an aviation-based motif.

Having names such as these are awesome ideas

Wow I live north of 9 Ave N and half my neighborhood is in the moderate signal strength. No wonder I only get 1 bar.

Campbell Street is the current City Limits and also the 'border' of the west side of Harbour Landing. Once Harbour Landing reaches Campbell Street the neighbourhood will be complete. There was a proposal on the city website for a condo development at Gordon Road & Campbell Street.

The city will have to (not sure on timeframe) annex land further west of Campbell Street (likely to Courtney Street) before another neighbourhood, west of Harbour Landing, will begin being developed.

I'm anxious to see how soon the land to the north of Greens on Gardiner will take before it starts being developed considering that is already annexed land. Likely we'll also see development begin at 9th Ave N and Courtney St in the near future, is my guess anyhow, as this was recently in the news.

It's already been named and referenced a few times in a few city articles: "The Towns". Not sure how reliable WikiMapia is but here is a link:

Both links on it are not working.

Yes i'v also heard of it being referenced as the "the towns" subdivision by a few developers. But best guess would be is that, they don't want no more people living in the east end until the bypass is built or Vic east is widened to the city limits.

I for see somerset, hawk-stone neighborhoods being built and finished before the towns. Also the prov' gov has committed to build housing at 9th ave and Courtney as mentioned above. But there too would require an interchange at pasqua/ring-road to accommodate that much growth in my opinion.

Also to point out the province announced last year of that a new medical facility over by SIAST as well as a Sasktel data center to start in 2013, I could see that area developed before the towns for housing as well. "My 2 cents"

Since Grasslands/Harbour Landing are growing sooo fast, the city/developers may have to start to annex/prep past Campbell St. Harbour Landing 'n that are far exceeding the initial growth forecast. Back during the spring of 2007 [for sure at the very latest - maybe even during '06], the city/developers started prepping the HL/Grasslands area: No above-surface structures were started 'til spring of '09.

With those two being built, it would be nice to see the city expand Prince of Wales Drive to meet up with Wascana Parkway sooner than later.
