City officials compiled the list of so-called brownfield sites earlier this year and a report on their findings goes to city council next week. The sites are scattered around the city, with clusters along Dewdney Avenue West and Victoria Avenue East. 2165 Albert St. This property at 2165 Albert St. is one of a number of former gas stations or vacant lots the City of Regina says could be redeveloped. (Google Street View) The city would like to see some of the sites redeveloped into homes, but doesnt know for sure if the soil is contaminated. Its looking at whether it should offer incentives, such as tax breaks, to landowners to clean the properties up. Cleanups wont necessarily be cheap. The report noted the City owns a property at 1901 Elphinstone St. that was leased to a company that operated a service station at the site for a number of years. At the end of the lease, the city was required to clean up the site at a cost of $82,000.
