Yep - CoR Bylaw 9900, Part VIII "Bicyclists," Sec 81:
"Rules of the Road Prevail
81. Every cyclist shall operate a bicycle in accordance with the applicable rules of the road as set out in The Traffic Safety Act.
"

(and Sec 9 - regarding bicycle-only lanes - doesn't contradict this, nor provide exemptions)

The leader post article doesn't answer your question about coopertown directly but it does basically confirm what you heard.

Regina Stadium construction site from above. You can see where the first tower crane is going.

Yes. The city has effectively prevented it from proceeding for 2 years. The reason they gave completely misleading but yes. But don't fret for Dundee/Dream. They had Harbour Landing 2.0 and The Towns South approved.

To be fair, it's Harvard who has to start the work.

But yes, it is very safe to say it was SLGA doing the hold up.

I was talking to one of the attendants at the Esso across the street and he was indicating that one of the workers had told him that the target opening date was November 2015 but they are already behind. I have no quotable source, just rumor.

There is has been a big mobile crane in Greens on Gardiner the last few days. I assume this place is being assembled.

Hmm... I thought the crane was going to be for the Gateway project but I think you are right. Doesn't look like the Gateway project is that far ahead yet based on their website: https://www.facebook.com/GatewayRegina

There is a good aerial picture of the land though.

You can see it from Arcola. It is the Devereaux project and they are up to the 2nd floor.

City Council will tonight consider a proposal to rezone the land on Armour Rd. just north of the hotel that burned last winter and just south of the abandoned Quonset on Pasqua N., for a grocery store.

Also the City will finally be closing the grid of streets north of Harbour Landing and south of YQR. They were surveyed in 1912 and never developed.

Correction: this will be at the Monday Aug 25th meeting.

I didn't know such a thing existed.

Me either! What does this mean exactly? If they were never developed, what's there really left to do?

That would be sweet! On a side note, the hotel looks about ready for framing round 2!

So the hotel is in fact being rebuilt? Good to know. I think we sorely need a hotel on the northwest side. Closest hotel I can think of to that side of town is the Best Western Seven Oaks.
