t the sidewalk network, developing complete neighbourhoods. New on-street bikeways and multi-use pathways in existing Regina neighbourhoods are added annually, working toward the sustainable transportation goals set out in the OCP. Goal D3: Transportation “To design infrastructure that conserves resources and minimizes impacts on the environment” The City prioritizes environmental sustainability in facility design by focusing on key elements such as, energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their environmental impacts. LEED certification for Fire Hall #4: LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance. In 2013, the City of Regina received LEED Gold Standard certification for the construction of Fire Station #4. Achieving LEED certifications requires implementing reduction initiatives such as high-efficiency heating and cooling, energy efficient lighting, upgrades to doors and windows to improve energy efficiency, and designing exterior spaces to limit landscaping requirements. While Fire Station #4 is the only building with LEED certification, all new City facilities are built, and all facility renovations are completed, with the LEED principles in mind. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Upgrades: Energy efficiency was one of the main priorities when designing the new WWTP that was completed in 2018. Electrical consumption has been reduced through more efficient pumping equipment. Geothermal energy is the primary source of office space heating in the winter, reducing natural gas usage; and renewable biogas is used to heat the digesters. Transit Fleet Maintenance Facility: This project involves constructing a new facility that will be attached to the existing Transit Operations Centre at 333 Winnipeg Street. It will enable the City to deliver expanded transit services to existing and new neighbourhoods. The facility is being designed and constructed to contemporary energy, environmental and sustainability standards to improve the working environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Waste Management Centre: As the City continues to grow, the number of Solid Waste collection vehicles has grown and is expected to continue to grow. This will continue to place increased pressure on the existing facilities, already at or beyond capacity.The new Waste Management Centre blends operational, environmental and energy efficiencies between the Solid Waste branches by sharing crew spaces, office support areas and vehicle and equipment storage. McCarthy Boulevard Pumping Station (MBPS) Improvements: The City actively identifies opportunities to reduce its energy consumption to minimize the water network’s impact on the environment and to keep residents’ water bills affordable. A large construction project is finishing in 2020 that will result in increased water pumping capacity added to the MBPS. Although the work is being done to help eliminate sewer bypasses to Wascana Creek, the City prioritized reducing energy consumption when selecting and installing pumping equipment. Maple Leaf and Wascana Pool(s): In 2020 and 2021, construction will occur on the Maple Leaf and Wascana outdoor pools. Energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are a priority for both. This will include water conservation features such as filtration systems and low consumption plumbing fixtures, as well as high efficiency heaters, LED lighting, variable speed pumps and solar panels to reduce electricity and natural gas consumption. Goal D4: Infrastructure

The City offers reduced rates for programs and transit passes to ensure all residents can be included through the Affordable Access Program.
