Two "octoplexes" are to be built on the two lots directly south of our property. We have contacted our City Councillor, Ashley Salvador, and various city departments - and have been told that if the developer's plans conform to the bylaws, the projects will be approved - with no consultation or recourse available to affected property owners. Unfortunately, this important initiative to force a reconsideration of Bylaw 20001 comes too late for us; however, we will do what we can to stop the escalating decimation of our wonderful neighborhood and others like it.

City council needs to take immediate action to address the failures of Zoning Bylaw 20001, its district plans, and associated policies.

The ongoing mass destruction of older houses and construction of new ones going on in my neighbourhood creates dust which which combined with exhaust from trucks and other machines affects the quality of air and therefore the health of residents. Rapidly increasing traffic on roads built for smaller communities increases danger of accidents. I object to the disregard of my health and well-being.

New zoning bylaw is garbage

A six storey wood frame, high fire hazard, 108 unit rental apartment building with an underground parkade commenced construction across the alley to the west of an arbitrarily rezoned, semi bungalow and garden suite, both actions without consultation or notification.

I am an Edmonton citizen since 1961. I am very concerned by the way my neighbourhood is being rezoned and disrupted without any consultation with the people already living here.. We are a community, not just a bunch of individuals. We help one another rely on one other here.

The results of the current infill development plan are and will continue to have a very negative impact on our community. This is no way to build community.

Stop the development of these oversize housing complexes. There is one on 81st Ave. that is zoned only for six apartments and there are already eight going in. City has been notified and has done nothing about it.

We need to preserve the character of old neighbourhoods and not “in-fill” with 6 plexes on corner lots just because it brings in more tax dollars and benefits developers. These 3 story monstrosities (they are NOT 2.5 stories) block sunlight to existing residents gardens and homes.

With extra people and cars it will be an overload on the health care, places to park and getting in and out of Belgravia. It will just over load all aspects of living in Belgravia.

I totally appose the size of infills built in mature neighborhoods within the single dwellings.

Argument Against 8 Suites on One Lot in Glenora Implementing an 8-suite development on a single lot in Glenora could significantly undermine the character and long-standing residential fabric of the neighborhood. Glenora has historically been defined by its spacious lots, mature trees, and predominantly single-family homes, contributing to a stable, community-oriented atmosphere. The introduction of 8 suites on a single lot presents several potential risks: Increased Density and Traffic Congestion: An 8-suite development could substantially increase the number of vehicles and occupants on a single lot, leading to congestion on residential streets that were not designed to accommodate such density. This could exacerbate parking challenges, particularly in a neighborhood where on-street parking is already limited. Loss of Neighborhood Character and Cohesion: The proposed density is incongruent with the established character of Glenora, potentially disrupting the architectural and aesthetic continuity that attracts long-term residents. Increased transiency, particularly if the suites are rented rather than owned, could further erode neighborhood stability and weaken community connections. Environmental and Infrastructure Strain: Glenora’s existing infrastructure — including utilities, waste management, and green space — was designed for lower-density use. Adding multiple units on a single lot may strain these resources, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential service disruptions. Impact on Property Values: While some argue that increased density can enhance property values, the introduction of multi-suite developments can have the opposite effect by increasing transiency, reducing green space, and potentially attracting tenants over long-term residents. This shift may deter families seeking stable, low-density living environments. Community Sentiment and Livability: Many Glenora residents chose this neighborhood for its quiet, family-oriented
