Regina Construction IV

[one_brick_at_a_time]

Also redeveloping the Canada Post building on Sask Drive with maybe SIAST or some form of education program to bring more youth/students downtown. The Sask Drive and 11th Avenue streets both need rejuvenation (and yay that 11th is in planning phase).

Agreed there’s so much can be that can be done,
Also when they’re planning the new replacement for pioneer Village put it downtown
Another thing make a known where they’re going to build a new hockey arena downtown this could be a big game changer for the downtown

Key components to downtown and growing it as a living space and place to work and visit:
- Globe Theatre
- Cornwall Centre
- Central Library Redevelopment.
- Grocery Store to firm foundation for more residential downtown building projects. (Rose Street?)
- 11th Avenue Beautification (Albert Street to Broad Street starting in 2023) and further projects like this to redo sidewalks, add bike lanes, trees etc. downtown.
- Mixed-use infill development with street access retail/restaurant.
- A stronger tax incentive plan for residential/retail/office/hotel infill is obviously needed. Areas such as Broad Street which we know is a waste land need to be dealt with.
- Maybe higher taxes for land that isn’t being developed or empty.
- Continued beautification of the area (with art installations/permanent evening lighting installations).
- Movie theatre.
What else?

TREES!

I have been thinking about this for years. Apparently it is nearly empty. I suspect the bones are solid. Location is not great unless it is linked with the rail yard redevelopment. Large floor plates would make it viable for government offices, but likely precludes residential or a hotel. It would need a parking structure eventually, although there is plenty of ugly surface parking around it now.

I don't think Brandt is going to build a grocery store.

Parkade proposed adjacent to Marriott hotel (Quality Inn) on Victoria Avenue and Broad Street with 4 CRU units on main floor (yay for downtown plan and guidelines). I already filled out the comment form as I would like new trees planted (as you can see there are none) adjacent to the current surface parking lot. I would also love some facade feature with evening LED lighting on the parkade.

[yveseluj]

Cool. Now do one for the General Hospital.

[Draftsman]

Man, that parkade is ugly! Just a typical bare-bones parkade (and typical for Regina). Those guests staying in rooms on the south side are not going to have much of a view in the future.

And in response to yveseluj comment, YES! Build a damn parkade now! The government takes care of Saskatoon's THREE hospitals, but gives us crap. It would have cost much less had they built a parkade 20-30 years ago.

It would be really nice if Regina could get a brand-new mega hospital. You know - the kind that costs over a billion dollars. Oh right, we have no money in SK.

[watchedmofu]

Because Saskatoon is a bunch of whiners. They want everything for themselves. Lmao because they are so much bigger then Regina.

I mean, this proposal is private money for a parkade.

The provincial government can and should build one for the hospital.

Exactly Regina needs a new billion dollar hospital built on the old Taylor field lands Nothing else is ever going to go there anyway that’s a great place for the hospital and they could colour south Saskatchewan metro hospital It’s about time Regina got a new hospital for the half 1 million people living in southern Saskatchewan

[The mayor]
