Wascana Parkway Extension to Prince of Wales Drive

The Wascana Parkway Extension to Prince of Wales Drive Functional Study explores future transportation and land use options in the area. The study will assess feasibility, impacts, routing options and to conduct comprehensive engagement before any future decisions are brought to City Council. Planning for an extension of Wascana Parkway to Prince of Wales Drive in southeast Regina dates back to City records in 1978:

  • In February 1987 Regina City Council registered a road right-of-way for the southward extension of Prince of Wales Drive to Wascana Creek.

  • In 2005, the McKell Wascana Conservation Area was created east of the planned Prince of Wales Drive extension, confirming the intent to eventually extend the road across Wascana Creek.

  • This extension is identified as part of the City of Regina's Transportation Master Plan (2017) which was approved by City Council.

  • The Wascana Parkway extension was examined as part of the 2022 Arcola Avenue Corridor Study. That study confirmed the importance of this connection for east Regina residents and identified it as a necessary alternative route during any future construction or disruptions along Arcola Avenue.

Why Your Input Matters

Consultations are ongoing with landowners, Indigenous rightsholders, community associations and other impacted parties. The information gathered from these meetings, in addition to the survey that is currently open, will assist in decision-making for any future project advancements.

A number of studies will accompany the engagement findings. These studies include geotechnical analysis (drilling and site conditions), environmental requirements (rare plant and wildlife surveys, regulation reviews, etc.), heritage analysis, traffic modeling, noise study and analysis and future costing. The results will be used to help guide future decision making about the extension and impacts to traffic flow in Regina's southeast.

The City encourages residents to fill out the survey and stay engaged through the project’s Be Heard page. You can do that by signing up to follow the project.

Design and construction will only move forward if the project proves feasible and future budget is approved by City Council.

  • Wascana Parkway Extension Public Survey

    A functional study is being done on a possible extension of Wascana Parkway to Prince of Wales Drive in southeast Regina. Hearing from residents, community members and interested groups is essential. 

    Nearby residents, landowners, Indigenous rightsholders, environmental and heritage organizations and others have shared interests related to potential neighbourhood impacts, the natural environment, travel experience and land use. 

    This survey is one way for the City to share information, gather feedback and understand community perspectives. Other targeted public participation will also be undertaken by the project team.  

    This survey will be open for three weeks from May 28 to June 24, 2026.
