connect them with ongoing community support services.

Additional services provided by RT/SIS include general practitioners, addictions programming (i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Crystal Meth Anonymous), one-on-one counselling sessions including referrals to detox centers and treatment facilities and referrals to mental health therapists. In addition, RT/SIS makes referrals to other community-based support agencies such as Mental Health Services, Overdose Prevention, COAST, Coordinated Access Regina, Salvation Army, YWCA Regina, Regina Street Team, Ministry of Social Services and Mobile Crisis Services Regina. What are the long-term operational costs to the City for the shelter once it is up and running, and how will they be managed? The estimated operating costs for utilities, maintenance, security, cleaning and insurance for the shelter are $30,000 per month. These costs are funded through existing budgets. How will the success of the shelter be measured and reported to the public? As operator and service provider for the shelter, RT/SIS monitors data as it relates to community impact and overall success of the space. RT/SIS reports directly to the Province of Saskatchewan. The Community Well-being branch of the City of Regina will report back to Council in 2026. How will the City address concerns from neighbouring businesses and residents about the shelter? A Good Neighbour Plan was created through a highly collaborative approach that the City led alongside RT/SIS, Fire and Protective Services, Regina Police Service, Saskatchewan Health Authority, the Regina Street Team and neighbouring businesses. The Good Neighbour Plan includes processes and resources for handling concerns. The City is committed to information sharing with stakeholders as the project progresses. Is there a screening process for checking into the shelter? Upon entering the shelter, individuals must go through a screening process. During this time, they are required to surrender any prohibited items to security.

lemented with additional funding sources, from both the City's budget and the Federal and Provincial government. Bicycle routes and lanes provide an environmentally friendly transportation alternative. It’s important to understand how Bicycle Only lanes work, as well as the various types of bicycle lanes. There’s room for everyone, so share the road with other cyclists and motorists. Shared-Use Lanes have wider lane widths and are shared with parked vehicles and cyclists. Bicycle Only Lanes have narrower lane widths and are dedicated for use by cyclists only. Bike Boulevards are shared roadways that have low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, and use signs, pavement markings, and traffic calming measures to create a safe environment for cyclists. On-street bike lanes can be found on: Park Street - 17th Avenue to Douglas Avenue Broad Street/Wascana Parkway between Lakeshore Drive and Research Drive Assiniboine Avenue from Park Street to 100m E of University Park Drive McCarthy Boulevard from Brunskill Place to Whelan Drive Smith Street from Victoria Avenue to College Avenue (one-way) Lorne Street from College Avenue to 12th Avenue (one-way) Chuka Boulevard from Green Falls Drive to Buckingham Drive Wascana Gate South Crosstown Bike Route - 13th Avenue between Forget Street and Lewvan Drive, 14th Avenue from Edward Street to Elphinstone Street Bike Boulevard - King Street between 15th Avenue and 14th Avenue Bike Boulevard - McTavish Street between College Avenue and 14th Avenue On-Street Cycling Parking Lane Bi-Directional Bike Lane In some places the buffer is a single dashed line, parking is not permitted here. The Park Street Bike Lane is bi-directional, meaning that cyclists bike in both directions in the same bike lane. A dashed line down the middle splits the bike lane into two different lanes. Cyclists may pass each other in the bike lane much like they would on a road, by merging into the opposite direction lanes and then merging back once the pass has been completed. Understanding Bike Lanes Bus Stopping Area No Parking Dotted Line These platforms are installed on Park Street to help transit users cross the bike lane and board transit vehicles. Transit users should wait outside of the bike lane until the bus arrives. When the bus has arrived, transit users can cross the bike lane to board. Cyclists must yield to pedestrians crossing the bike lane to board a bus. Park Street's parking lane is unique in Regina as it is located away from the curb. The parking lane functions much like other parking lanes do, except that the edge of the bike lane buffer acts the same as the curb. It is marked by “P” stencils where parking is permitted. Note that in some places the buffer is a dashed line, parking is not permitted here. The buffer is located on the outside of the bike lane, separating the parking lane from the cycling lane. This space is used to protect cyclists from being hit by car doors when passengers are getting out of cars. ...
