Victoria Avenue Corridor Study and Functional Design

The City of Regina is advancing the planning phase of the Victoria Avenue Corridor Study and Functional Design Project to consider improvements along Victoria Avenue between Broad Street and Arcola Avenue, Victoria Avenue is an important transportation route identified in the Official Community Plan and Transportation Master Plan. It is also a priority area for higher-density development to support future growth, redevelopment and better connections between neighbourhoods. The project will focus on replacing aging underground infrastructure and pipes and look at way to improve how the corridor functions, looks and is accessed. The City will directly engage with property owners, businesses, residents and other interested groups and people to help inform the planning and design. This is a planning study for future roadway construction and upgrades. Construction will not take place for a few years.

Community participation is critical during the planning phase, because the feedback, perspectives, needs and priorities of those most affected by current conditions and future changes will help with decision-making. This engagement process will help ensure the corridor evolves in a way that balances infrastructure needs, future growth objectives, mobility requirements and community priorities.


Why Your Input Matters

Your feedback will help identify community priorities, opportunities and concerns to inform future corridor planning, design recommendations and improvement options for Victoria Avenue. Input received will be considered throughout the development of preferred corridor solutions and project recommendations.

  • What will the city be doing to minimize traffic impacts during the project...

    csj12 asked 9 days ago

    It is too early in the planning phase for this project to identify details about a plan for traffic flow during the construction phase. The City will provide early and ongoing communication to residents and businesses to ensure access and alternate traffic routes are clear.

  • Why Expand the city when existing infra needs replacement, intensification project, rebuilding boarded up homesand Making existing city livable by helping out Homeless to a designated facility away from Downtown? I took a trip from Downtown to Greens via Dewdney Ave E .We really need to imrove existing so that people come to downtown and not avoid it. Are we making more underpasses on Highways to connect Downtown with East ?

    balsmin asked 27 days ago

    Regina's Official Community Plan and Growth Plan targets 40 per cent of new growth to be in established areas over the next 25 years. There is a focus on primary and secondary intensification areas around the City Centre to support higher density infill development such as multi-storey apartment buildings. Replacing and upgrading the aging infrastructure on Victoria Avenue is an important part of this project to support population growth. There are several projects undeway to support the revitalization of the City Centre as a strategic priority.  

  • Please keep traffic flow as a priority. The disaster on Dewdney ave where the driving lanes are replaced by concrete curbs in the meridan not only removes any good place to put snow and makes snow removal more difficult and expensive but also now Dewdney is down to one lane of traffic and one lane of parking! Very short sighted.

    DC asked 27 days ago

    Thank you for your comments regarding the Dewdney Avenue. The focus of this project is Victoria Avenue between Broad Street and Arcola Avenue. Each traffic corridor is unique and requires careful consideration to safely and efficiently move people through it. The City is currently reviewing the Transportation Master Plan, which will guide planning, operations and maintenance on how to address challenges and improve transportation options. You can take the public survey online at Regina.ca/TMP.  

  • Hi. Noticing a the plots in this area are not being mowed, on city length of properties that residents and business owners usually maintain as well as absent owners are not doing anything at all. Is there a way the upkeep can be taken over by the city, or remind those not maintaining(not in favour of this one by the way) or create something like allowing beautification projects or some kind if incentive.

    On private properties overgrown grass and vegetation is prohibited under the Community Standards Bylaw. Concerned residents can report addresses to the City so Bylaw Enforcement can issue orders to maintain the property. If the landowner does not comply, Bylaw Enforcement can remedy the situation and charge it back to their taxes. Publicly owned lands and City parks are not subject to the same bylaw.  The intent of both the Property Standards bylaw and Parks and Open Space bylaws are to ensure a clean and safe standard across the community.  Service levels for parks maintenance schedules changed in 2026 to reduce operating costs to meet budget targets. You can learn more about park classification and maintenance schedules at this link: https://www.regina.ca/export/sites/Regina.ca/parks-recreation-culture/parks/.galleries/pdfs/Parks-Maintenence-Standards.pdf.  

  • I would like more information on what "a priority area for higher-density development to support future growth, redevelopment and better connections between neighbourhoods" actually means.

    Lilygirl asked 29 days ago

    The City of Regina's updated Growth Plan targets 40 per cent of new housing over the next 25 years to be infill development in established neighbourhoods. This section of Victoria Avenue near the City Centre is identified as a primary intensification area because it is a transit corridor. These areas are well suited for higher density housing developments like multi-storey apartment buildings with convenient access to businesses and services. The Victoria Avenue Corridor Study and Functional Design will review land uses and transportation options to support how people move between neighbourhoods like Heritage, Downtown, Centre Square and Cathedral.  

  • Will there be another road promoted , like Dewdney Ave East is currently underused, mainly because it is not properly developed, along with railway Road area which has buliding Material Businesses which need to be moved out. That can be used as additional route to East .

    balsmin asked 30 days ago

    The focus of this project is Victoria Avenue between Broad Street and Arcola Avenue. At this time, the City is limiting engagement to that corridor. The City is also running a public survey on the Transportation Master Plan which applies to all transportation options and roadway planning over the next 25 years. You can visit Regina.ca/TMP for more information and to take the public survey.

  • Will theere be ANOTHER underpass below railway tracks connecting this area to the Dewdney Ave on East of Broad Street? Current underpass on Broad forces high traffic on that street and has Weird exit and entry on both sides with no scope of widening it. Another pass at around Toronto St is suggested.

  • Will there be any development on the OLD Driver test building on SASK Drive? Also , There are many private properties which are boarded up- Is there any Plan to have those either developed back by owners OR city acquring those OR imposing vacant property tax? Apart from Infrastructure, Intensive density and inhabiting all the infrastructure will make this area lively.

    balsmin asked 30 days ago

    The focus of this project is Victoria Avenue between Broad Street and Arcola Avenue. At this time, we are limiting our engagement to that corridor. The City is also working on a Saskatchewan Drive Improvement project and will be connecting with impacted businesses, property owners and adjacent residents during the final design phase. Learn more at https://beheard.regina.ca/saskdrive.

  • Will there be a Cycle Lane in this area?- Right now we have short cycle routes. As i noticed on city map for cycling, a cycle route on Victoria Ave will connect those sections well and will make regina a Cycling city.

    balsmin asked 30 days ago

    The Victoria Avenue Corridor project includes a review of all transportation options, including cycling. Land uses and traffic flow will be considered when deciding what transportation modes to prioritize for Victoria Avenue.
