AECA BYLAWS Below are links to the current AECA Bylaws In Michael Fougere's January and February "Report on City Council", I wrote that the Regina Transit Service's proposals for new bus routes generated strong response from residents and community groups, not just in Ward 4, but across the City. I also mentioned that I had received petitions, letters, and calls from residents who oppose the proposed bus routes on Harding Street and Helmsing Street. Many residents also expressed concern about the bus route alterations that would see students having to transfer at Victoria Square Mall only to be dropped off on Victoria Avenue instead of College Avenue, near Miller High School and Balfour Comprehensive High School. Over the course of receiving public input, the Transit Service received over 1,000 submissions and 18 petitions. Clearly Regina residents are concerned about Regina Transit Service's proposals. In response to this overwhelming public response, the Transit Service developed a new option, called Option D. In this option, it was recommended that the Community Services Committee adopt a transit route system very similar to the current transit routes now in place. For south east Regina, this option recommended that transit buses would not be placed on Helmsing and Harding Streets, and that the City retain the current, more direct bus routes to Miller High School and Balfour Comprehensive High School. This new option provides new transit service to the expanding business district along Quance Street. On February 19, 2003, the Community Services Committee reviewed the proposed transit routes proposed by the Regina Transit Service. The committee adopted Option D. I am therefore very pleased that transit buses will not run on Helmsing Street and Harding Street. Also, the City would retain the more direct route for transit service to Miller and Balfour High Schools. In making this decision, Regina Transit Service also has agreed that in the future it would not recommend bus on those streets that had successfully petitioned against bus routes. I know this decision is a great relief to so many residents along Harding Street and Helmsing Street. Also, parents and students will be relieved to know that the City will retain the more direct bus route to Miller and Balfour High Schools.
