nter maintenance in the Environmental Reserve? In winter, the City regularly clears all paved pathways throughout the space. Why are there not more trees in the space? It is important to note that not all spaces in the Environmental Reserve can accommodatetrees. We do not plant trees that may conflict with underground and overhead infrastructure (pipelines, power lines and natural gas lines) Norseman Park is a priority for spring 2021 replacement plantings.

Why are you doing this work now? In 2020, the Yards Neighbourhood Plan was approved by Council, and the policy was adopted into the City’s Official Community Plan. The Yards Neighbourhood Plan included enhancing the Warehouse District through the transformation of Dewdney Avenue. In addition, the City’s underground infrastructure within this corridor are over 100 years old and due for replacement. This project allows the City to provide appropriate servicing and accessibility to the Yards site to improve its viability and readiness for development. What public engagement was done to date for this project? The Yards Neighbourhood Plan is the result of a very extensive community and stakeholder consultation process. Thousands of residents provided input in public surveys, public open houses and planning booths. The Plan included a significant amount of public and stakeholder engagement in 2017/2018 on the conceptual designs of Dewdney Avenue. Further engagement was conducted with the Warehouse District members and stakeholders in 2022 and 2023 through the design phase. What underground infrastructure is going to be replaced as part of this project? Aging sewer mains and water supply mains that are beyond their intended design life will be replaced in advance of the pavement works. The size of the mains being replaced will support the current and future needs along Dewdney Avenue as well as future development of the adjacent Yards neighbourhood. New storm drains and associated storm sewers will also be installed to support the drainage along the roadway. What surface infrastructure will be rehabilitated and/or replaced as part of this project? The City will be investing in the complete reconstruction of most of the corridor, including new sidewalks, curbs, pedestrian crossings, medians, pavement, traffic signals, street furniture, lighting and landscaping. The project is intended to transform Dewdney Avenue from its current state into a desirable landscaped roadway. The project will include enhanced pedestrian-oriented aesthetics to meet the future Yards Neighbourhood and broader City needs of all residents, businesses, and road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicles. What will the road cross section look like? Dewdney Avenue will have four lanes with a raised landscaped median. The outer lanes will serve as parking in off-peak hours. There will be left-turn lanes at the signalized intersections of Hamilton Street and Cornwall Street. A sidewalk, boulevard and public activation space will be provided on the north side of Dewdney Avenue. A boulevard and multi-use pathway will be provided on the south side of Dewdney Avenue. Shade trees will be introduced on both sides of the corridor and along the median as well as new street and walkway lighting. What will the intersections look like? Traffic signals are proposed at the intersections of Hamilton Street and Cornwall Street along Dewdney Avenue. Eastbound and westbound left-turn lanes will be provided at the signalized intersections. The intersections of Lorne Street, Scarth Street and Rose Street are intended to be right-in / right-out only intersections to improve corridor safety and operations. What will the sidewalks look like? ...

shed in 1874. Prior to the treaty’s signing, Aboriginal people had followed the buffalo through the area. Regina’s lack of reliable water, shelter or trees made it a poor spot for a permanent settlement. Photograph of three bison grazing in King’s Park in about 1970. But in 1882, settlers did just that. Why? Because Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney selected the railroad’s path and placed the North West Territories’ new capital near land he owned. Photograph in 1882 of Lieutenant-Governor Dewdney’s order reserving land to form the town of Regina. The decision was very controversial. Dewdney, in addition to being a land surveyor and politician, was a land speculator. He was also Indian commissioner during his time as lieutenant-governor, and was instrumental in setting up the reserve system, a legacy which continues to impact Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Dewdney answered directly to John A. Macdonald, who was minister of the interior as well as prime minister, so when Dewdney’s land speculation in the Regina area came to light in Parliament, it sparked a major controversy. Other sites with more natural beauty, such as Moose Jaw and Troy (now Qu’Appelle) had been rejected as locations for the capital. Newspapers and politicians at the time, speculated that the only reason for selection of Pile of Bones as the capital of Assiniboia was its proximity to Dewdney’s own land purchase. Editorial cartoon of “The Governor-General Transforming Pile of Bones Into Regina, Capital of Assinobia”, from the book REGINA: An Illustrated History by J. William Brennan. The cartoon depicts Edgar Dewdney dumping a bottle of perfume on a pile of bones while political critics ask “Doesn’t your Excellency detect a Bad Odour about this Pile of Bones?” A directional sign in the background points “To Fort Qu’Appelle The Natural Capital of Assinobia”. The Canadian Pacific Railroad ultimately foiled Dewdney’s plan and chose to move the train station closer to what is now Regina’s downtown. Photograph looking south from the railroad tracks in about 1883. A wooden plank sidewalk leads to a wooden building at the left of the frame. In the distance are wooden shacks with a dirt wagon trail leading from the railroad tracks to the settlement. There are no trees or landscaping. The photograph was taken from the top of a rail car, giving an elevated view of the town. Dewdney did, however, influence the location of several government buildings. A composite image of three photographs. The first image at the top left is of the RCMP barracks building in about 1890. Several wooden buildings and a tall wooden tower sit on a flat treeless plain, interspersed with dirt wagon trails leading to the buildings. The second image at the top right shows the Territorial Administration Building in about 1905. This building still stands at 3304 Dewdney Avenue. A second empire-style two-storey brick office building stands next to two smaller buildings and a windmill on a flat treeless plain. A field leads up to a fence surrounding the buildings. The third image at bottom shows Government House at an unknown date. Government House still stands at 4607 Dewdney Avenue. ...
