Centre Square Planning Study

Have your say on the Future of Centre Square

Centre Square, formerly known as the Transition Area, is a centrally located neighbourhood recognized for its historic residential character and close connections to both Downtown and Wascana Park. The neighbourhood is bordered by Albert Street, Broad Street, College Avenue, and Victoria Avenue. The neighbourhood provides an opportunity for investment and population growth to support its revitalization. The City has retained a consultant to undertake a Planning Study that will provide a framework for sustainable growth, investment and improvements. The goal is to ensure Centre Square thrives as a vibrant, connected, and welcoming part of Regina.

Why Your Input Matters

  • What We Learned: Centre Square Planning Study

    supporting image

    The analysis of the Centre Square Planning Study public engagement is complete and we are ready to share what we learned through the online survey, pop-up events, stakeholder interviews and focus group discussions.

    Feedback collected shows that Centre Square is valued for its central location, walkability and historic character. People also feel that the area has potential for reinvestment and there was support for long-term growth and revitalization.

    Some of the key themes:

    • Strong support for more housing and population growth to be accommodated through residential and mixed-use infill development.

    • Many respondents identified safety (real and perceived) as the most pressing concern

    • Strong support for local businesses and potential for economic investment, however, safety and lower foot traffic in the winter are considered current barriers

    • Improving public spaces and walkability were major priorities including improved street and sidewalk maintenance and better crossings on Albert Street and Broad Street to connect Centre Square to other neighbourhoods

    The feedback also highlighted challenges with current housing and economic market conditions along with opportunities to address barriers to reinvestment. Results from this public engagement will help to inform next steps as we develop a long-term planning strategy that reflects the priorities of people who live, work and visit Centre Square.

  • Background Study

    A background study has been finalized by the project’s consultants. It provides baseline information about the neighbourhood’s existing conditions, as well as observations on constraints and opportunities that will be used to feed further analysis as the project proceeds.
