Dewdney Avenue is now open to traffic and transit.
After two years, the work completed on the revitalization project gives the City the capacity to support a growing Warehouse District as well as the redevelopment of the Yards. This stretch of Dewdney Avenue between Albert Street and Broad Street saw significant upgrades to the underground infrastructure, including the 100-year-old pipes.
Above ground, Dewdney was transformed into a safer, more livable area with new roads, expanded sidewalks, improved lighting and a multi-purpose outdoor space. To top it all off, the addition of trees that will grow, over time, creating a beautiful canopy over the sidewalks and street, benches to enjoy the new space and bike racks to support alternate modes of transportation have been included in the design.

Project Investment
The Regina Revitalization Initiative (RRI), which includes the Yards Neighbourhood and Dewdney Avenue Corridor Revitalization projects, was approved for $67.5 million in total. Of that, $33.6 million is funded through a tri-level agreement between the Government of Canada ($11.2 million), Government of Saskatchewan ($11.2 million) and the City of Regina ($11.2 million). The remaining project funds will be allocated by the City of Regina. The cost for the Dewdney Avenue Corridor Revitalization Project is $32 million, which is partly covered by the tri-level agreement funding.
