Project Outcomes
- Rebuild roads, install new sidewalks and pedestrian ramps
- Replace or upgrade aging underground infrastructure
- Replace traffic signals and streetlighting
- New landscaping to beautify the streetscape
- Replace the transit shelters with new, fully enclosed shelters with heating and lighting
The goal is to provide access to businesses at all times, based on safety of the area for the public. Ample parking is still available in the downtown, outside of construction zones.
Traffic Restrictions
During the project, keep an eye out for traffic restrictions. We know construction zones can be frustrating, but a little disruption now means we can prevent much bigger ones down the road.
Starting May 8, 11th Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic for construction from Broad Street to west of Hamilton Street for approximately six months.
The intersections of 11th Ave and Rose St, and 11th Ave and Hamilton St, will be closed for the remainder of the construction season. Watch for signs.
11th Avenue will be open again for two-way traffic from November through April.
Transit Impacts
To keep Transit moving, the bus stops will be temporarily re-located during the summer months.
From May 7 through October, all transit stops on 11th Avenue between Broad Street and Albert Street will be relocated to Victoria Avenue and Lorne Street near Victoria Park.
Transit riders are encouraged to check TransitLive.com for the most up-to-date information on routes, stops and times.

Investment
- $8 million
The City is working to revitalize the City Centre to contribute to community vibrancy, economic prosperity and safety and wellbeing. Regina’s five-year capital budget outlines investments to renew street and underground infrastructure in the City Centre, including Dewdney Avenue, 11th Avenue, Saskatchewan Drive and Scarth Street. These projects will beautify streetscapes, transform transportation networks and improve pedestrian safety to accommodate future growth in the downtown. The goal is to attract more people and businesses to live, work, visit and invest in the City Centre!
