Scarth Street Revitalization

In the spring of 2023, the City started the process to re-imagine the future for the Mall on Scarth Street. A survey ran from May 29 through June 10, 2023 to gather resident sentiment on three potential scenarios for traffic access to the F.W. Hill Mall.

What we heard is that people in our community are passionate about this place!

Over 6,600 survey responses were received. Results reflected a desire to maintain a pedestrian-focused environment, with 90 per cent of respondents preferring pedestrian-only access. Comments added further emphasized the community value for this space, many seeing it as a key feature in the downtown.

Respondents also suggested improvements such as more activity, improved safety, places for bikes, scooters and drop-offs, and better seating.

As part of last year’s budget process, construction on the Mall was postponed to 2027. This summer, we are continuing the conversation with the community to understand how you want to use and experience the space. Your feedback will inform the vision and conceptual design of the space. This phase is expected to be completed by spring of 2025.

More information on how to share your thoughts will be coming soon! Follow this project to stay up-to-date.


The F.W. Hill Mall on Scarth Street (or “the Mall”), downtown between 11th Avenue and 12th Avenue is a unique and special place in Regina. It is bordered by beautiful heritage facades that contain a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional spaces and amenities that create a hub where people gather to take part in special events and activities, and travel through to get to businesses, services, and other downtown spots.

As the other downtown spaces like the 11th Avenue corridor and Victoria Avenue are renewed, revitalizing Scarth Street is an opportunity go beyond replacing what is there today to invest in a lively public life for the future.
