The project spearheaded by city council hopes to transform the area into a more vibrant community, with a focus on pedestrian access and public spaces where people can gather.
Saskatchewan Minister of Government Relations Don McMorris , Warehouse District executive director Leasa Gibbons and Regina Mayor Sandra Masters participate in a groundbreaking ceremony for the Dewdney Avenue revitalization project.“It’s great to actually have the plan approved and all of the engineering and design work done so that we can design to be more commensurate with what you would expect of kind of a cool Warehouse neighbourhood,” Mayor Sandra Masters said.
The project will be done in phases over the next two years, with water and sewage mains to be updated this summer and superficial additions of boulevards and greenery to be completed during the 2025 construction season.Construction will be funded by three levels of government, for a total price tag of $32 million.The City of Regina purchased the land known as ‘The Yards’ in 2012, and funding for the area was approved in 2018.
“For businesses to not only survive but thrive, we need this investment in infrastructure,” Gibbons said. “We are going to transform this traffic corridor into a main street and that’s going to have a generational impact on our city.”But with new infrastructure comes construction — something businesses in the area aren’t thrilled with, but they say it is an inconvenience they can live with for long-term gain.
