Crosstown Bike Route
ning through the northern portion of Brinkworth Park. The City will shift some of the play
equipment in Brinkworth park south in order provide a safe environment for both cyclists and park users. A pathway east of Brinkworth park
will be constructed to accommodate cyclists. At Lewvan Drive, cyclists will cross in the current
pedestrian crossing, obeying existing pedestrian signals. From the southeast corner of 13th Avenue
and Lewvan Drive, a multi-use pathway will be constructed through a green space west of Edward
Street. This pathway will formalize existing trails in this area and deliver cyclists safely to
14th Avenue. 14th Avenue - Edward Street to Pasqua Street - Protected Bike Lane Similar to 13th
Avenue, the section of the Crosstown Bike Route on 14th Avenue will be a bi-directional bike lane.
The reason for this is the alignment of 14th Avenue across Pasqua Street, which is slightly skewed.
For safety reasons, cyclists will be directed, in the bike lane, to the north side of the road,
where they will have a safe transition into the Advisory Bike Lane east of Pasqua Street. This will
also necessitate the removal of parking on both sides of the road, again, similar to the 13th
Avenue section. All houses on this section of 14th Avenue face onto the adjacent north-south
streets and will maintain on-street parking on at least one side of the residence. All accesses at
curb crossings will remain. 14th Avenue - Pasqua Street to Montague Street - Advisory Bike Lane
Pilot Project From 14th Avenue at Pasqua Street, the Crosstown Bike Route will be implemented as an
Advisory Bike Lane. An Advisory Bike Lane is a type of cycling infrastructure that has long been
popular in Europe and is now finding success in cities across North America, including Ottawa,
Ontario and Victoria, British Columbia. Cars share a middle lane with one bike lane on each side of
the road. When cars must past each other, they yield to cyclists in the bike lanes, then merge into
the bike lane in order to pass. This is a new type of bike lane for Regina and will be implemented
as a pilot project in order to see how road-users adapt to the new configuration. The Advisory Bike
Lane will be monitored into 2022 and its success will be evaluated. 14th Avenue was chosen as a
location to test this new type of infrastructure due to the width of the street, the low traffic
volumes and the low traffic speeds. This section of 14th Avenue is about nine meters wide with
parking permitted on both sides and a single (unpainted) drive lane in the middle of the road. By
removing one parking lane and replacing it with bike lanes, the street maintains its current
function, while providing enhanced safety for cyclists. Advisory Bike Lanes Video Transcript Audio

Trees
Amur Maple is an incredibly colourful tree. As summer turns to fall, its bright green leaves turn
fiery red. This tree is perfectly suited for urban environments. Its
small size allows you to plant it in city yards and beneath power lines. Amur maple can also
tolerate urban pollution, moist to dry conditions and is not affected by soil type or pH. Toka
Plum/Prunus domestica ‘Toka’ Tree Donation Program To support our Urban Forest, The Forestry Bylaw
was amended to allow residents to plant trees on City property. Please view the documents below to
learn more about planting trees on City property. Planting trees on City property is subject to the

Planting Specifications Tree Banding Tree banding keeps fall and spring cankerworms from laying
their eggs in the crown of the tree. Band your elms, Manitoba maples and fruit trees each spring
and fall to reduce the amount of cankerworms. To band your tree: Purchase fibreglass insulation (15
to 20 cm wide), plastic wrap or black garbage bags, duct tape and some type of sticky substance
(axle grease, Tanglefoot, Stick-em) Wrap a strip of fibreglass insulation around the trunk about 1
to 2 metres above the ground. Cover the insulation with plastic and secure with duct tape. Cover
the plastic with your sticking agent. Regularly re-apply your sticking agent and remove debris to
ensure effectiveness. Remove your band after mid-May and again in mid-November to keep your tree
bark in good shape. Save the insulation for the next banding season. Pruning Your Trees Trees, when
mature, should have a strong straight trunk and a full crown with well-spaced branches. Pruning
helps achieve this growth pattern. Pruning depends on the age of your tree: Newly planted tree:
Only prune dead or broken branches since the tree needs all of its branches and leaves to grow in
its new location. Year 2: Prune branches to develop a strong central leader. If present, prune and
remove co-dominant leader. Years 3-4: Begin regular pruning. Years 5-7: By this time, your tree
should be healthy and shaped properly from previous pruning. To stay healthy, regularly remove dead
or damaged limbs. ...
