Our neighbourhood is being invaded by structures which are too large and are destroying our community.

I don't want a monster infill apartment (any more doors than a duplex) next door to my single family home that has no parking, multiple garbage cans. This utopian vision that people will no longer use cars is unrealistic. The 15 minute city is turning into 1 hour and 15 minutes.

It’s important to me as we bought in a mature neighborhood thinking it would stay that way. I’m against larger complexes like 8 unit infills replacing one home for the following reasons: 1) decrease in property prices of original homes 2) infrastructure such as sewers are not built to handle load of 8 units taking place for one home. 3) no parking for multiunit complexes resulting in others parking where original owners once parked.

I'm tired of the city of Edmonton counsellors just doing what they want and telling us they know what's best for us.

I want to see thought and better planning put into these infills. Replacing a single dwelling with 14 units in a quiet, mature neighborhood like mine (Newton) is unacceptable. There will be no space for those who live there to park without creating chaos for those around them. An acceptable build would be a fourplex.

The Mis governing of out municipal leaders have gotten greedy now that they have been put on the hot seat about tax dollars going towards the wrong projects at residents expense

The Edmonton city council are NOT listening to the citizens that pay their wages regarding infill. It seems the developers have nor say than we do. Our communities are being destroyed and I care about it

No need for massive infill projects in nice mature neighbourhoods.

I’m pro infill but they should be done responsibly and with consideration for the current residents and needs/capacities of the neighbourhoods they are being added to. Our council is responsible for serving their communities not ignoring them and loosening guidelines or protections for developers to benefit.

I have been living next to derelict property for three years and have been having to deal with nightmare situations because of it. Finally we got notice a permit has been issued for the house to be demolished. We thought either a 4plex or even a duplex would go up as the whole street is duplex’s with basement suites. The permit to build has been approved for a 18 unit building! Crazy!!! There are already issues with the apartment buildings behind us .. garbage/parking/nighttime vagrant activity.

Living in the middle of infill hell. Skinny homes not cheaper, actually over a million dollars, multiplex rentals, worried that the suites will all be to small and then not sure who will rent them. Worried about current infrastructure handling the large increase in demand. Mature trees being cut down to make room for the large structures. Flooding, most of the property is house and cement, no land to absorb the snow/water.

We have lived in Idylwylde community for over 40 years and in the last couple of years are seeing alarming imposition of development that is eroding the family orientation of the community. Development that is simply out of place.

Devaluing my property both financially and in quality of life. They are following the communist agenda of distributing the funds of those who work and contribute among those who choose not to work and achieve a higher living standard by their own efforts.

The neighbourhoods should remain the same, instead of homes that stand taller and ruin the pictures of the homes we grew up in, and neighbourhoods have these ugly monstrosities being built, where there are neighbors no longer have privacy in their backyards. They feel these tall homes are encroaching on their property.
