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.

  • How will traffic diversion be handled as this is a main road to down town? Unfortunately trees block the view.

    Penny asked 12 days ago

    Thank you for your comments regarding trees and view points. It is too early in the planning phase for this project to identify traffic flow details for the construction phase. The City will provide early and ongoing communication to residents and businesses to ensure access and alternate traffic routes are clear.

  • where will there be crosswalks? Winnipeg and arcola are too far apart currently.

    CdnShieldCarla asked 20 days ago

    Thank you for your comments about the distance between the existing protected crosswalks. The goal of this planning study is to support all road users, including pedestrians. Future improvements will be informed by community feedback from this phase.   

  • Regarding the design of Victoria ave and surrounding roadways. My question is when will Sask drive / Arcola avenue between Broad and Winnipeg be widened as all the land has been purchased long ago and the narrow condition of this road causes congestion. I feel once this is completed it would help with the Victoria ave traffic as another efficient route downtown

    William c asked 24 days ago

    Thank you for your comments. The City is planning a separate project to improve the Saskatchewan Drive Corridor. The first phase of that project is focused on the section between Broad Street and Winnipeg Street with construction tentatively set for 2028 following stormwater and drainage improvement work in 2027. You can learn more about the Saskatchewan Drive project on Be Heard at this link: https://beheard.regina.ca/saskdrive 

  • Please fix Saskatchewan Drive from Elphinstone to Winnipeg St...this area looks horrible and an eye sore. Please look at fixing this before this before Victoria from Broad to Alcola Ave. When I have visitors here I avoid it because it's embarrassing and shameful, worse than many streets yiu will see in 3rd world countries in the downtown/adjacent core of a capital city.

    Elvis asked 27 days ago

    Thank you for comments. While this corridor study is dedicated to Victoria Avenue, the City is already planning major improvements to the Saskatchewan Drive Corridor between Winnipeg Street and Elphinstone Street based on previous community engagement and design work. The first phase of this project will be focused on addressing drainage and stormwater upgrades in 2027 with major construction tentatively set for 2028. You can find more detailed information about the phases and plans for the Saskatchewan Drive project at this link: https://beheard.regina.ca/saskdrive 

  • Will there be any available grants or resources for establishing businesses or community resource infrastructure along this corridor?

    Dr. Node Smith asked about 1 month ago

    Grants and incentives are a great tool that can be used to complement infrastructure investment to ensure there is also private investment. As the City continues to work through the corridor plan, options for grants and incentives will be considered. Currently there are affordable housing supports and community investment grants, supporting non-profit organizations.

  • What are some options that can be explored for improving the efficiency of the pedestrian crossings at Toronto St. and Montreal St.? It is in a school zone and needs to remain safe but the old-style of crosswalk lights creates a huge traffic bottleneck in the peak morning and afternoon times.

    skidrocc asked about 1 month ago

    School zone safety is a priority across the entire city. Pedestrian safety and mobility will be reviewed as part of this project, alongside traffic flows in the morning and afternoon peak hours. The planning and design phase will consider how the street functions to support the school, residential housing and businesses in the area.

  • What noise pollution is going to be brought to area and how long?

    C.D asked about 1 month ago

    This study is currently in the planning phase and does not include a detailed noise assessment. We recognize that traffic design, particularly vehicle speeds, can influence noise levels. At this stage, its too early to know the potential construction noise or timing, as design and construction details have not yet been determined. However, these factors will be considered in future construction planning.

  • Can the centre blvd be narrowed resulting in wider lanes or the area between the sidewalk and the street removed with the same result. During the winter with the cars parked on the side and the snow left on the street it is only 1 lane for traffic.

    Sel asked about 1 month ago

    Thank you for your comments about the roadway cross section on Victoria Avenue. Elements of the roadway, such as number of lanes and lane width, are included in the scope of the functional design and will be considered as part of this study.

  • How come you'll just go to the same streets, and have construction just hover around all day?

    The Serial Protestor asked about 1 month ago

    This project is seeking feedback to guide future improvements to Victoria Avenue. The street improvements will happen at the same time as the priority work to replace lead service pipes. The City is currently running a separate public survey about improving construction process and practices - you can participate online at this link until November 4: ConstructionFeedback.

  • Immediately: The eastbound lane markings need to be adjusted by Italian Star Deli as there is not enough space for a vehicle to drive in its lane. It broadens out after but that is a safety issue as there are always cars parked so the vehicle in the right lane has to go into the left lane to drive through. Overall: There needs to be a beautification effort. Not like what was done on Dewdney. That was a waste. Look at main streets in other major cities. There can be a lot done aesthetically for minimal cost with signage, over the street lighting, markings, etc.

    Alex P asked about 1 month ago

    Thanks for your comments on Victoria Avenue and Dewdney Avenue. Elements of the roadway, such as number of lanes and lane width, are included in the scope of the functional design and will be considered as part of this study.
