to get around. A key direction in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is to ensure that a range of sustainable transportation choices such as walking, cycling or transit are available to increase mobility and accessibility for residents of all ages and income levels. In support of the TMP, a Transit Master Plan is being developed that will chart the path forward for the City’s transit services, which includes exploring alternative fuel sources and new technologies to improve the overall efficiency and sustainability of the system. An on-demand transit pilot project will run from September to December 2020. It will assess route optimization through the use of software that enables transit riders to request service when needed on select routes. Each year, the City invests in additional sidewalks and pedestrian connections along transit locations, focusing on important points that connect 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. ...
