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.

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.

To maintain the heritage and beauty of old neighborhoods. Building multi family dewellings where a single home used to reside on a 33 foot lot will turn these neighborhoods into Compton!

Responsible infill is acceptable and encouraged so long as it is providing affordable housing. However, the current trend is to approve large multi dwelling units on, what were previously single-family lots, with little consideration for parking and impact on the community in terms of garbage collection, etc.

Very concerned about putting 8 plexes in single family dwelling neighbourhoods without providing adequate off street parking. These monster buildings do not fit in with existing infrastructure:

I’m signing out of profound concern of the recklessness of Bylaw20001.
