I don’t want to see our community destroyed because we have a city council that does not care. Our city councilor Ashley Salvador is useless she is only in her position to collect a paycheque and pension. She has no interest in hearing what we have to say because it is not in her neighborhood. And if it did affect her area she would be the first to change the bylaws. I also want to know who actually went out and voted because if everybody did their due diligence then we would not be in this mess

These eight unit structures are much too large for this neighborhood. The information is that the building only has two parking spaces. Potentially there could be 16 vehicles looking to park if each unit has two drivers associated to them. There is no where to park that many vehicles. The fear is also that these premises could turn into rental units with transient persons living there.

We do not want Multiplexes in our neighbourhood. There is no room for parking and I have heard the multiplex on 75 St. has only 2 parking stalls for the entire unit, so the rest of the occupants have to park on the street. The people in the rest of the neighbourhood who need to park on the street will have less parking spots available because of the Multiplex unit. The City needs to listen to the people!!

The city destroyed my home because of their over construction and INVASIVE construction. My ceiling and walls were destroyed and insurance won't cover it. My life quality today and for the last 12 years now, has been reduced to zero so the city can give someone else a quality life tomorrow. Can't be inside because everything shakes. Can't be outside because of noise and ASTHBESTOS from demolition in they neighborhood the city PROMISED TO SAVE FOR FAMILY HOMES but is now destroying with multiplex

I’m Opposed to infill when the local infrastructure (roads, transit, utilities, sewer, waste management) is not designed to accommodate the population increases at the neighbourhood or community level.

Disfiguring and cluttering well established neighbourhood should be labeled as a crime!

I just lost all privacy in my backyard due to a garden suite infill. I've lived here for over 30 years and feel like our neighborhood is targeted for decimation due to the lot size. My alley is a garbage strewn disgrace because of the garbage caused by the builders who don't care about anything.

Infills are gaundy and obscene. Should be governed and controller. 8 units, with no parking is poor planning, and makes zero sense.

Our neighbours are being tore down and bringing the value down to our properties. We all made a big effort to have our houses and this is destroying our communities. All the new buildings are sitting there just empty, with lawns not being taken care of in the summer and icy sidewalks on winter, because nobody is being responsible for them. Also, tearing down huge windows ls trees is a big thing! They are not giving anything in exchange for them. Also, ridiculously pricy!!! Affordable housing???

Preserving the character of our older neighborhoods is important! There are bette ways to increase density.

We are seeing several 8 unit complexes going up on single lots in our neighborhood. These units do not include parking and will strain our current infrastructure. We are all in for responsible densification and infill but this is not acceptable. There should be a limit of 4 units per lot with some parking included. Architectural guidelines should be established and followed. Many of these new units are square boxes and the character of the neighborhood is ignored and being impacted.

In the last 3 months one developer has purchase 7 of the 12 houses on my immediate 1/2 block along 88 ave between 147th and 148th street, including 5 in a row and 2 in a row across the street. This is not logical planned and strategic densification, it is an invasion that will convert what was a lovely street in an older established neighbourhood with starter homes for young families to a warehouse like zone of cookie cutter 8-plexes. Responsible infill is welcomed, this is not.

We have lived in our neighborhood for 29 years and do not want to see infills of 6 or 8 plexes change the quietness of the area. There are more than enough condos being built nearby at the U of A land off Whitemud & 51 Ave

City Mayor, councillors need to know the seriousness of this situation.

Because these gypsy politicians don’t give foresight to the future and others quality of living unless they can make a dollar.
