The left arrow here shows where the gravel road starts. The right arrow shows where it finishes and where a sealed road resumes. The second pic shows the length of the gravel - it's 500 meters!!

This is the view of North Railway St to City Hall in Regina. A gravel road - in front of the Roughriders home ground is just 1.6kms from City Hall.

This is what will soon happen to North Railway St. A grader will come along and grade the road - filling in the potholes - and it won't need to be done again (until the next time)

North Railway Street - March '09

I took these photos on March 18. The first one shows the eastern end of North Railway Street - the road surface is sealed at the eastern end.

A little further west though, the road surface turns to the ever-familair gravel.











And where North Railway meets Elphinstone St, the road is in similar condition to what it was in July '08.

The saga of North railway street in Regina continues. It's now early September. The road is in as poor a condition as it was in July.

Yes, that is gravel. In the capital of Saskatchewan.

How is Regina going wrong today?

Roads ... specifically, gravel roads. There is a gravel road near downtown; just 1.5 kms from the downtown.

For those not familiar with Regina, the tall gold-coloured building on the right is the Sask Govt Insurance Building. The building on the left is Taylor Field, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

I wonder how many Canadian provinces have gravel roads within 1.5 kms of downtown.

I wonder if fans of any other CFL teams have to walk or drive on a gravel road to go to see their team play.
