An 8plex infill is going up across the street from us, the house and home we have invested all our hard earned money in. A family was displaced by this development, our neighborhood is all single family homes. Not a single person on our street wants this and have all fought it through the courts already just to be silenced. It’s absolutely ludicrous for this infill to go up where it’s going with no consideration for our community.

Because council is conflating domicile units with homes and community.

This byelaw was passed without adequate consultation with community. It is resulting extensive, lasting, damage to communities & Edmonton. Priority goes to international investors and people whose greed far out, sees their interest in having a city where people want to live over the short & long term

Current infill developments (purpose built rental 6+multiplexes) are strictly a financialized housing product and do very little to improve or enhance current mature neighborhoods. In fact, they are having negative cumulative impacts. Federal housing accelerator fund requires up to 4 units per lot. This is better supported as it allows homeowners (not speculators) who live or want to live in these neighborhoods to add density but incrementally - homeowners that are vested in their community!!

These rowhouse developments are killing previously single family neighborhoods. Our single family neighborhood had to battle a 5 unit rowhouse placed right in a small laneless cul de sac. This nonsense has to stop ASAP.

To promote responsible building practices that are good for the future city and its residences.

My family’s house has been directly affected by the COE rezoning and we feel our voice has not been heard.

We are sliding into an era where the mad rush to build more housing puts Edmonton at risk of uglification and the flattening of the complex character and identity of our city. This will lead to lack of livablity and erasure of civic pride. More housing can and must be accomplished, but only as thoughtfully, carefully, and gently as possible, not through headlong force.

Experiencing a property next door that was purchased for infill. It has sat empty for 2-1/2 years and is the magnet for drug dealers, the homeless and rodent infestation. In speaking to our city council representative on numerous occasions, we have not been given honesty or transparency about the zoning in this neighborhood. The city is not listening to it’s taxpayers and assumes no responsibility for the effects of this chaos.

My street is being overwhelmed by big ugly black and white boxes.

I live in Wedgewood and our city council recently sold a parcel of land in our neighborhood to Treaty 8 for development of affordable housing. We have no regular bus service with no easily accessible social services so really confused as to how this site makes sense. There is only one way in and out of our neighborhood and the development (that we have seen so far) has not planned for enough parking for the increased population.

I support density but not multiplex beyond 4 units. Parking MUST be considered on the building site. We are a winter city & street parking is too challenging.

These buildings are too big and just don’t work in the neighborhoods.

I believe what Edmonton Neighborhoods United has outlined here is exactly how the City of Edmonton should have approached the Zoning Bylaw 20001.
