City of Regina

A guide to how city streets are named.

ponsible for the maintenance of these expressway lights, outages can be reported to SaskPower. Outages: Report street light outages on the SaskPower website or by calling 1-888-757-6937. Street Lights Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), inform pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired when they have the right-of-way to cross at a signalized intersection. Accessible Pedestrian Signals use two audible tones with the visual pedestrian signals to designate the direction of the pedestrian right-of-way. For the north/south right-of-way, the ‘cuckoo’ audible tone is sounded, and for the east/west right-of-way, the ‘chirp’ audible tone is sounded. The APS units are also equipped with vibro-tactile features for pedestrians who are deaf or hard of hearing. Raised arrows on the APS indicate the crossing direction of the unit, which then vibrates in combination with the audible tone to indicate right-of-way for that crossing. APS units also use a ‘locator tone’ to assist pedestrians in locating the pushbutton. This tone currently varies between units as either a ‘beeping’ or a ‘ ticking’ sound. The City of Regina has 69 intersections equipped with APS. As part of its vision to be an inclusive and accessible community, the City is committed to retrofitting six signalized intersections with APS annually. Any newly signalized intersections with pedestrian access are automatically installed with APS. To request a location for APS installation, please contact Service Regina by submitting a Service Request. Requested locations are prioritized using criteria, such as intersection configuration and safety, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, and proximity to public transit and various pedestrian destinations. Accessible Pedestrian Signals Regina has 17 Touchless Accessible Pedestrian crosswalks in our community. The touchless signals allow users to activate the pedestrian crossing signals without the need to physically touch a button. They also emit an audible sound to help individuals with visual impairments to cross intersections safely. Users can continue to press the button like a traditional pedestrian signal if they choose. When a user wishes to cross the street, they simply need to wave their hand one to four inches away from the touchless pushbutton area to activate the signal. A radar sensor within the unit alerts the traffic controller unit that a pedestrian is ready to cross. If a user has a visual impairment, they will hear the audible tone advising when it is safe to cross the street. To request a location for touchless or APS installation, please contact Service Regina by submitting a Service Request. Requested locations are prioritized using criteria, such as intersection configuration and safety, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, and proximity to public transit and various pedestrian destinations. Touchless Accessible Pedestrian Signals Many signalized intersections have a button you may push to activate the WALK/DON’T WALK pedestrian signal. If the button is pushed, the WALK signal could stay on longer to allow you the extra time to cross the street. If the button is not pushed, more ‘green’ time could be given to motorists. This allows more traffic to travel through the intersection and reduces congestion. If you are at a signalized intersection with a pedestrian push button, you must use it or you will not get a WALK signal allowing you to cross. For some intersections that have heavy pedestrian volume, pedestrian phase could be provided every phase during off peak hours. Understanding Pedestrian Signals Pedestrian signals tell you when it is safe to cross: A "WALK" or “WALKING SYMBOL” means you may begin crossing. A flashing "DON'T WALK" or flashing “HAND SYMBOL” serves as a warning that it is to late to begin to cross the street. However, if you entered the cross walk before the signal began to flash, you should have enough time to cross the street. A solid "DON'T WALK" or solid ‘HAND SYMBOL” indicates that it is unsafe to cross the street. You should wait until the WALK signal appears again before crossing the street. Pedestrian Push Buttons at Signalized Intersections Signs Construction and detour signs are posted to warn you that road work is being done in the area. You must obey the speed limits posted on the signs, as these limits ensure the safety of workers and other motorists. Even if you cannot see any activity in a construction zone, you should reduce your speed to the posted limit because other hazards – like gravel chips and uneven pavement – may be present and cause damage to your vehicle if you are travelling at high speeds. You should also leave plenty of space between road crews/equipment and your vehicle when going through a construction zone and obey all directions by flag people. Construction & Detour Signs Children at Play signs are not part of the Canadian Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and therefore, are not used by the City of Regina. If you can buy it, its not legal. These signs are not recommended for municipalities because: studies show these signs have no effect on motorists to control speeding motorists need to watch for children playing near every residential street, and not just the street where the sign is located these types of signs suggest to children that it’s okay to play on the street, which is not the case The City of Regina only posts warning signs when motorists need to be advised of unusual or unexpected conditions. Children at Play Signs Learn more about no parking and no stopping zones. No Parking: Vehicles can only stop briefly to drop someone off or pick someone up in this zone. You may not park your vehicle and wait for someone. No Stopping: Vehicles must not stop here for any reason, including dropping off or picking up passengers. You may only stop here to obey traffic signals or signs, for emergency personnel, traffic flow, or due to an emergency. You must remain behind the wheel of your vehicle as it is illegal to stay parked for any length of time. ...

red questions or is this only shared amongst those who asked the questions? The questions submitted and the answers will be posted on our competition website and an email will be sent to all registrants notifying them that they have been posted. When the dwelling allowable units' states for example: Min 4. Max 8 - does this mean one development but separate attached units? Like a 4 plex development for instance? Like a Multi-Unit Development/Townhouses? All units on the lot must be fully attached. When there are multiple residential buildings on a lot it is considered a Planned Group, which is a Discretionary Use in most applicable circumstances. Is there any specific zoning bylaw to determine if the units are feasible to be detached or if attached is a requirement to meet the density/coverage limits. All applicable zoning regulations can be found in the Zoning Bylaw. Please clarify the submission package formatting. In the landscaping plan inclusions, does “elevations (for all cardinal directions)” mean that we are to have all 4 exterior elevations of the units on the drawing itself? We are asking for 4 exterior elevations (one for each compass direction) to be included in the submission set. Placement within the submitted documents and the scale of each elevation is at the discretion of the submitter. Does the landscape plan need to be a separate document/ drawing sheet? It is up to the participant whether the landscaping plan is separate or combined with other drawings such as a floor plan. Does the building mass drawing need to include the footprint of the building in plan view on the landscape drawing showing the building footprint, overall size and placement? Typically, the massing drawings would be in an isometric view. Including other elements in the massing drawings is up to the submitter. Round 2 Will schemes be docked points for not providing onsite parking (i.e. what metrics will be used when scoring schemes that do and do not provide onsite parking)? While our zoning bylaw has moved away from parking minimums to suggested parking ratios, the #1 objection from residents the city receives towards missing middle housing and intensification relates to inadequate parking. Design concepts that can accommodate a 1:1 parking ratio (1 parking space per unit) on the site will score higher. If a strong rationale is presented for providing less than the suggested ratio, it may be weighed more favourably during the review process. For this competition, will two or more residential buildings (i.e. accessory dwelling units, multi-duplexes, etc.) be allowed on each lot? If not, it appears that this may significantly limit the development opportunities of each site. In an effort to explore all potential options for each site, we have revised our position stated in question 9 from the first-round responses and are now accepting proposals for multiple buildings on each lot. Is there a preferred approach for collecting garbage? Regina utilizes three bins for the home collection service. Blue bins are for recycling; Brown bins are for waste, and green bins are for compost. On lots with an alley, pickup is in the alley. On lots with no lane access, the bins are rolled onto the street for pickup on the designated day. Consideration should be given to accommodating the three bins on site. Is a basement allowed? Yes, full-height concrete basements are very common in Regina. We encourage participants to explore the potential of these spaces. Is it possible to incorporate social activity spaces for the residents, for example, designing the roof as a social gathering space used by the residents according to a schedule or for small rent fees? Yes, we encourage the exploration of such ideas. Is it an accepted approach to design all the units or part of them to be duplexes with more than one floor level with an internal stair? If your proposal meets the requirements of the National Building Code, you are welcome to explore all options. In the height limit indicated in the competition brief, does it indicate the height to the roof slab? Or to the parapet? Or to the roof staircase room? Please refer to the definition of “height” in our current zoning bylaw (see link on the design competition web page) in Chapter 2, page 18 and figure 2B.F10. Is solar orientation important for this competition? Since we have not specified any cardinal directions in the lot diagrams, solar orientation is not a critical factor in the competition.
