Cycling
traffic, not against the traffic. Except for in designated bi directional bike lanes Obey all
traffic signals and signs, just like when driving or walking.
Bicycles with tires smaller than 40 centimetres are welcome to use the sidewalk. Bicycles with
tires larger than 40 centimetres can use the sidewalk in designated sidewalk cycling areas Use arm

Advancing the OCP
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. ...

Natural Areas
r infiltration to recharge our groundwater aquifers. Finally, natural areas have an important
recreation function, creating diverse opportunities for walking,
running, cycling, skiing and snowshoeing while also supporting unprogrammed outdoor activities like
bird and animal watching and exploration. What kinds of natural areas does the City maintain? The
natural areas that the City maintains fall into four general categories, each of which is home to a
unique variety of plants, animals and insects. Grassland Areas Typically, a mix of native and
non-native grasses, wildflowers and shrubs. These areas tend to be located along Regina’s creeks
and waterways above the top of the bank where the land is dryer. Wetland / Marsh Areas Typically, a
mix of native and non-native grasses, reeds, cattails and other emergent (growing in the water)
plants, along with some wildflowers, trees and shrubs. These areas are located along Regina’s
creeks and waterways between the top of the bank and the water’s edge, where the land is wetter.
Woodlot / Forested Areas Typically, a mix of trees and shrubs with a groundcover of native and
non-native grasses and wildflowers. They can be located either right beside creeks and waterways or
up the bank away from the water. Savannah Areas Typically, a mix of native and non-native grasses,
wildflowers and trees with few or no shrubs. These areas tend to be located along Regina’s creeks
and waterways above the top of the bank where the land is dryer, but where trees have been planted
or grow naturally within a grassland area. ...
