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.

City Council is not listening to its residents about responsible infill, but at the same time they are charging us one of the highest property taxes in the Country.

I am so disappointed and disgusted with the zoning bylaw changes in this city over the past 5 years. My neighbourhood has changed for the worse as have so many others. Crazy decisions.

Because I don't think all homeowners should have to pay a lawyer $200 to put a covenant on their property. It's ridiculous.

Very concerned about density and effects on residential neighborhoods. Over taxing infrastructure, over parked streets and safety.

Municipal govt is beholden to non-citizen interests: corporate, political, or other. Remember who you serve. Residents. Tax payers. Stop serving the developers and lining their pockets.

Builders with no vested interest in the neighborhood, destroying the character of older neighborhoods and devaluing properties.

The infrastructure of older neighbourhoods (primarily drainage) does not support the addition of multiplex development. This is irresponsible planning.

Democracy is important. Those in government need to listen to the people. The current bylaw is not working for people living in the neighbourhoods.

We need to have a say regarding rezoning in established neighbourhoods. Taxes go up but nothing gets done. Decisions around infilling are made without citizen input.

Was not notified about this matter and felt I was blindsided; my wife and I have been Crestwood residents for 37 years! I should have known about this. Our community is everything to us.

This current bylaw and approach by city council is quickly ruining our mature neighborhoods. This has to stop.

Flawed engagement process and City Council and Administration failure to listen to/address mature neighbourhoods' feedback regarding maximum Infill density, incompatibility and scale of redevelopment housing forms, specifically the 8-plex, deficient landscaping requirements, and loss of mature tree canopy on redevelopment sites through absence of mature tree assessment and protection on private lots.

Appalled at the lack of oversight on these unrestricted infill projects, absolutely destroying the character of the neighborhoods that Edmontonians have loved and invested in for generations.

The current mayor and city council are making decisions and putting into action projects and policies that are not in the best interests of the city, its economy or its citizens. The results are catastrophic and a change needs to be made. The City of Edmonton is being destroyed by its governance. We need leadership that cares about the welfare of this city and it’s people.

I’ve seen inappropriate infill like 8 plexes with 2 suites over a garage imposed into my neighborhood.
