It’s wrecking our quiet peaceful community.

I live in a mature neighbourhood and am concerned that the character of my neighbourhood will be compromised, that infrastructure will be strained by too much densification, and that there will be crowding from too much street parking.

I live in the Crestwood community. We are being adversely affected by the irresponsible building of infill developments which will negatively impact the home owners who live here. On 95 avenue 6 multi unit complexes are either being built or slated to be built without adequate parking, room for garbage cans, or room for traffic to pass when the complexes are complete. Not to mention the devaluation of our properties and community.

This is such a disruptive approach to development. Certain;y, there are areas and properties in this city that are in poor disrepair and neglected that could use redevelopment. Why would this council insist on disrupting neigbourhoods that are well looked after and cared for only to create more eysores. Totally disrespectful to people who care about our city.

I am concerned that transportation and other infrastructure cannot support, sustain, and serve excessively denser population.

The city is allowing massive changes without listening to long term residents of each area

Infills and multi plexes have destroyed neighborhoods. No strategy by the City of Edmonton. Many poor builders. Character neighborhoods have lost their identity. Home owners are forced to sign Race to protect their neighbors.

I am a homeowner and am seeing the value of my property go down due to uncontrolled multiunit infill housing. My home is 19 years old and when we built it in Dovercourt, we had strict guidelines, which should have been continued. Multiunit infill should be limited to LRT and large transit centre areas.

We need a better grip on what's happening to our city.

I have seen the damage to next properties and witness the city council disregard for the tax paying citizens next to these awful infills.

They are ruining some of the nicest neighborhood’s in Edmonton. They are raising the prices of housing and say they are doing this for the people but then put a terrible multi family home in extremely expensive neighborhoods which doesn’t make it cheaper for the average family and also ruins the neighborhood

It is critical to recognize the uniqueness of our neighbourhoods and to reasonably preserve same. One size fits all zoning by-law is anti community at its heart and speaks to choosing administrative ease and indolence over good planning.

Adequate parking is a key requirement in residential development. Densification in established neighborhoods needs to be reduced. Exterior facades of new developments in established neighborhoods need to have some respect of the current neighbourhood architecture - neighbourhood consultation should be encouraged or mandated. 4 units should be 2 front & 2 side doors. More than 4 units should be required to have a single street facing door with a foyer for unit access. BLEND IN !

To let the City of Edmonton know they have done harm to our communities and the families within.

Infill should be case by case basis and voted by each neighborhood, especially by direct neighbors. We're in Summerlea and trying to fight an 8 housing complex going in the wrong place, cul de sac with little too no parking and in the middle of only single dwelling houses. Just so wrong to let this happen.
