I have solar panels on my roof and anything other than a normal house would make these useless. There also is not a lot of parking so infill units would make parking very difficult especially in the winter.

This has negatively impacted home owners who did not have a say in this zoning bylaw

City council needs to admit it made a mistake and is harming its residents especially those in older neighborhoods. And introduce much stricter and more carefully thought out regulations on redevelopment and density before many of our neighborhoods are irreparably harmed. The city needs to stop issuing new permits for these multi -unit residential redevelopments until they can fully assess the damage they have already caused and chart a path that respects the residents of Edmonton.

It's a beautiful, mature, and quiet neighborhood, let's stop ruining great neighborhoods with these infills.

There needs to be some accountability,the city is out of control with spending,bike lanes and zero accountability to homeowners with infills next to them

This has ruined a lovely area. From developers renting out houses waiting for demo to criminals, to the undeplanned and nature of multiple housing units in a mature neighborhood with existing space challenges. The lack of parking , access to said properties without infringement upon neighborhood properties, and consent for the intent and use of these properties are also non existent. The days of asking neighbors before you build a deck are long gone, because now we have no say no power.

There are far too many cars parked on the side streets with these 6 unit residences going up in mature neighbourhoods. They can be built in the outskirts or new neighbourhoods. Keep mature neighbourhoodss to single family or duplexes at the most, it's getting ridiculous. I'm worried that if there's a fire, the firetruck won't make it through with all the cars parked on the sides.

The city, which we elected is not placing enough solid guidelines on the building of these infills. The city should get off their asses and set more restrictions,but as always they DO NOT listen to us. The people! All about the $$$. & not the people. This world is soooo off track.

The neighborhood change is too fast and too extensive. Types of builds will not provide affordable housing for families and are providing rental opportunities for condo investors. The massive infill built beside older homes is drastically reducing the value of existing homes and just the prospect has created a ripple effect where potential buyers now strategize to buy homes that are not beside potential infill projects.

I am signing this position as I see the negative change these infills have had on my own neoghbourhood, taking away from the beauty, the community, and the purpose. Further, I see Edmonton, a city that has always struggled with iit’s appeal, moving in a direction that takes even more away from that.

I completely agree and have contributed to the cause. City council doesn’t listen to us!

I live in a mature neighborhood, and these multi family dwellings are taxing on the infrastructure and parking, and I believe it creates a divide amongst the neighbors. Neighbors who own their single family homes within proximity, could easily resent the individuals who come in and rent. I believe these developments divide the neighbors rather than unifying our community. It’s a reckless method of urban planning. Actually, it lacks any semblance of urban planning.

Seriously Edmonton what is going on, the house being built around the corner from me is some sort of 8 Plex looks like a mansion and frankly ridiculous, enough is enough!!!! I'm going crazy this is like the 10th house built on this street, one of my neighbors had to sell their home to get away from what is happening
