We have seen great progress on the Downtown Master Plan to date and that work continues. Office for Urbanism is now working closely with City staff to fine-tune the plan's technical details. They are also working with the development community to finalize the 'built form framework' that was developed as part of the plan. This framework governs the specifics of building design for the area, including how high buildings can be, how far back they should be set from the sidewalk, etc.You can take a gander at the Downtown Plan newsletter here.
We anticipate bringing the Downtown Plan forward to Council in the spring. The date of the Council meeting will be communicated to you in the near future. This plan is our chance to create a vibrant downtown that is the heart and soul of our community. We are taking the time we need to ensure it is complete, thorough and tested.

you're not an outsider, you're an insider, that's the nature of Regina. what;s up is down, what;s left is right. newcomers have far more rights and privileges than people born and raised here. :)
To clarify, Paul is a Regina newbie. He hasn't even been here for two years yet. I think newcomers have fresh eyes and enthusiasm more than any kind of magical priviledge; good for them!
