Perils of Touring




Looks like Myles Goodwin was right, rock 'n' roll is a vicious game.

This Week at City Hall

Monday, Feb 23
City Council Meeting (5:30pm): Lots on the agenda this week including some rezonings, something to do with the Evraz Place lease, three condo conversions, appointments to the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District board, and various and sundry other reports. Don't be late or you'll miss the Municipal Heritage Awards presentations.

Wednesday, Feb 25
Regina Planning Commission (4pm): Only one agenda item, a proposed rezoning of a portion of the Greens on Gardiner development which is being built on Regina's east side. I've only skimmed the report, but seems to me the developer wants to reduce the density of the subdivision under consideration. From the looks of things, though, it isn't a huge reduction in density. Plus, the developer wants to rezone the area to "Suburban Neo-Traditional" -- which basically means they want to lay the area out in a fashion reminiscent of pre-1945 neighbourhoods with back alleys and smaller front yards.

Anyone can attend these meetings and you can still make presentations at the Planning Commission meeting if you wish. For more detailed agendas and to download all the relevant reports, go here.
