Regina City Hall — Attraction in Regina

Filed for a building permit for foundation repair. Was told that most permits need to be filed weeks in advance but that they try their best to fast track foundation permits. Was told I should get the permit in 2-3 days. Called back a week later for an update and was told there is no permit application for my address. What a bunch of clowns. Is it really that surprising that so many people do work without permits?

I also looked at the city website to see where I am allowed to discharge the water from a sump pit I am planning to put in. The city website clearly states that it should be discharged onto the lawn OR into the city storm sewer system. So I phoned the city to discuss whether or not I can tie into the storm sewer stand pipe that is in my basement. The person I talked to told me that as a home owner I am not allowed to discharge anything into the storm sewer system and that the water can only be discharged onto the lawn. I asked about the info on the city's own webpage and was told by the person on the phone that the city webpage is wrong. If I phone back in a week and talk to someone else I will likely get a completely different answer.

A month ago city of Regina workers came to our house and dug a small hole in our lawn. They left before I was able to ask what they were doing there but I noticed that the hole they dug was around my water shut off (they exposed the upper 3-4" of pipe). I called the city to see if there was work being planned for my area. I was told that there weren't any city crews dispatched to my street or to my address. The hole is still there.

These are just issues in the last 2 months. The amount of conflicting information is mind boggling. I wouldn't be surprised to find that things are being managed by a bunch of monkeys throwing feces...

If I could put 0 I would. This is in terms of street parking only and street sweeping. An important reminder to citizens of Regina to take photographic proof of street sweeping signage that they post or any other signage, anything city related now . I would not be surprised if this happened with others before. I am very disappointed in the dis honesty of the city in terms of street sweeping. My street was being swept and there were signs up all week indicating it would be swept on a Tuesday. They swept on Monday, tore down the signage from the tree where my car was parked and placed a Tuesday sign and took a photo , had moved my car obviously and left me with a ticket. I had a gut feeling to take a picture the night before Monday on Sunday to take a photo of the signage and I did not. That would have been my solid evidence to show in court as they do not do polygraph lie detectors in municipal court . So here is an expensive lesson learned for me & also for everyone else to make sure they take photos of the signage they post because unfortunately there is some dishonesty within the city here, and to be honest that would make a citizen of the city wary now . It’s unfortunate that I have to now take photographic evidence of this stuff now because of dishonesty. I had to call back to tell the person on the phone to please educate their employees on putting the proper signage up & to let them know I will now be having to remind other citizens in Regina of this occurrence and of course now I’m unfortunately writing a review because I would like to let citizens of Regina be aware of this . And I also do hope that this review goes further into their management and supervision processes and teaches their staff to be more honest about the procedures they...

I’m extremely disappointed in city of Regina and its ongoing failure to deal with the constant noise pollution caused by cars revving their engines, and backfiring, burning rubber, and racing up and down our streets — often late into the night.

This isn’t a one-time thing. This has become a regular disruption. These vehicles shatter the peace of our neighbourhoods at all hours — including early mornings and past midnight — and the silence from City Hall and enforcement speaks volumes. It’s more than just loud cars — it’s a blatant disregard for public peace, safety, and respect for residents that live in the downtown core

It’s hard to believe a city that claims to care about “livability” and “community” continues to allow this kind of behavior without real action. Where is the bylaw enforcement? Where are the fines? Where is the follow-through? Because right now, all we’re hearing are high revving backfiring engines, not leadership.

This kind of thoughtlessness and lack of action reflects poorly on the people in charge of this city. The message it sends is clear: residents’ quality of life comes second to reckless noise and street racing.
