So tired of resident voices not counting when it comes to monstrosities being built in our neighbourhoods.

Consultation with the taxpayer and community residents is not taken seriously. The mayor and council need to reconsider.

Imagine living beside one of these monstrosities. Your property value decreases to lot value. You lose all privacy in your yard. You lose sunlight in your yard. The streets are jam packed with vehicles. There are better ways.

The current zoning laws are turning our neighborhoods into unattractive areas that will not attract new people to our city.

Thank you for all your efforts to protect Edmonton from developers whose intention is not to build and preserve a beautiful city.

Densification is fine if done properly. There needs to be insight, and forethought into any densification developments in any neighbourhood, especially mature ones. This City Council has neither forethought, or insight. Our Neighbourhoods are being destroyed.

These new zoning bylaws are disgraceful and changing a vibrant city into ghetto. There is room for everything and anyone but done through proper planning not by knee jerk reactions to a housing crisis caused by poor hindsight planning.

We moved to Glenora 34 years ago when it was a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Stop allowing anything to be built. The neighborhood has been ruined.

It's needs to stop. We've lost 4 hours a day of sunlight on our deck since the City allowed a monstrous house to be built next door. Our bedroom is also darker because of the height they built it. We are compared 'lucky' to others who are having multi units built. Quality if life, the City doesn't care. I wonder how many City Councillors have an infill next to their house!!!

We need to have city council working for the taxpayers, not ignoring us.

I am not against infill, but would like to see reasonable smaller developments to incorporate better with existing neighborhood structures.

Building two eight plexes next to each other is shortsighted. Parking and people jammed in. There is a better way

We, us, I, living in the communities need to stand up in any way possible for a positive and better infill / change in all neighborhoods. How about creating some action to let the city and developers know that they are not welcome in destroying our neighborhoods, plastering it with 4/6 story builds or 8 units per lot ?! Organizing media/radio CKUA etc. Before May 20 or June 3, the next phase of decision making in City Hall above our heads, the people in the communities. It could be just a simple blockade of construction sites, or truck drivers hauling dirt, concrete or building materials, to let them know about our deep concerns, Or A demonstration / rally in front of City Hall with billboards, lots of noise and good speakers and people to explain our positions for a better infill. City hall needs to start listening to the people and act accordingly with us ! I don't think this is too radical, concerning how much the City / developers radically and fast destroying our mature neighborhoods

This city council is destroying the fabric of our communities. Who ever came up with this idea and those who have supported it should be shown the door.

Infill is only 1 problem this city has. We definitely need new faces on city council this fall.

Communities deserve the right to consultation prior to infill development. City council needs to be transparent on possible conflict of interest. City conflict of interest policy needs to be improved.
