Vision Zero Road Safety Framework

Cathedral Community Safety Zone

The city is proposing the creation of a Community Safety Zone in the Cathedral neighbourhood; pending City Council approval on Wednesday, April 10. Ahead of the next City Council meeting, residents are invited to join Councillor Andrew Stevens and City staff at a public information session to learn about Vision Zero and the Cathedral Community Safety Zone.

The Cathedral Community Safety Zone Town Hall will be held:

  • Wednesday, April 3, 2024
  • 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Regina Senior Citizen’s Centre, 2404 Elphinstone Street
This will be a come-and-go session. Attendees are invited to stop in any time between 6 – 8 p.m. Parking is available on street and next door to the Regina Senior Citizen’s Centre at the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Cathedral Community Safety Zone Information Session, and to all who shared their thoughts and questions. The Vision Zero report will be discussed at Council on Wednesday April 10.

Background

The City of Regina is developing a new Framework to improve safety for all road users in Regina, including pedestrians, drivers and cyclists, over the next five years. Vision Zero is a concept that uses a data-driven and safe systems approach to improve traffic safety in the community, with a goal of eliminating all injury and fatality collisions on our transportation network.

As part of the Vision Zero program, the City is planning to create Regina’s first Community Safety Zone in the Cathedral neighbourhood.

Community Safety Zones provide enhanced protection for all road users in higher-risk areas by implementing a reduced speed limit of 30 km/h, in addition to other road safety measures. The Cathedral neighbourhood was selected to be the first Community Safety Zone because it has a high volume of vulnerable road users and features a unique mix of land uses including schools, daycares and an active commercial centre.
