They were welding on the next segment of piles for the Pinkie bridge north abutment this afternoon.

Are there any empty lots downtown for new developments he said sarcastically?

It looks like a nice pocket park is replacing some asphalt at the new YMCA daycare location at Albert and 25th.

Well that's pretty freaking cool.

With a daycare there, they need somewhere to take the kids outside. That's a great addition.

PCC updating Wascana Centre Master Plan
https://www.cjme.com/2023/01/20/pcc-...e-master-plan/
https://wascana.ca/about-us/2023-wc-master-plan

There is lots of neat stuff in it like bridges and paths, but when I asked about a timeline they told me there was no funding to do any of it. So its mostly an aspirational document.

All the north side piles are in and cut to height. The pile driver was moved to the south side and they started hammering those today. Flags on the creek for where those ones will go.

New listing on SaskTenders:

The City is seeking flood sensor technology along with traffic communication device at the two closest signalized intersection (Albert Street & Saskatchewan Drive and Albert Street & 9th Avenue) to alert the motorist about the flooded underpass on Albert Street.

The flooding issue could easily be solved if only there was a giant hole in the area to act as a storm water detention pond ...

Could they get extra funding if a storm water retention pond was included in the rink/library proposal?

Never going to happen they need another 25 years to study the study that they studied ten years ago , city council has now desire when someone is paying someone of them to keep development out of Regina

Public info session coming up on Feb 8 for the Sask Drive project. https://beheard.regina.ca/saskdrive

From what little info is available, it looks like they are starting with the least useful part for the first phase in 2024. That section of Sask Drive is in horrible shape, but I would have liked to see the section between downtown and the Stadium done first, it will be last.

The 46 acres of real estate in Regina's North Central neighbourhood has remained an empty field since the former stadium was torn down on Oct. 17, 2017
This will remain empty for twenty years all they do is talk about what there going to do ,some of the projects Should’ve been done 20 years ago and no one at City Hall has a desire to change anything , So it will be a nice Tumbleweed Park

City Hall/the Mayor are waiting for private investment but the problem is, affordable housing is not profitable, so it needs incentives/public funding. This should be a clue that affordable housing should just be public housing.

I was thinking they should have built the new Humane Society facility in the old stadium area to better serve people in the area that want a pet but don't have a car.

Is this... serious? Is that what they are really missing? Taking care of pets properly isn't cheap...
