The infrastructure in older neighbourhoods cannot not sustain unlimited density. I don’t want my home or my neighbours homes dwarfed by a huge multiplex! There isn’t enough space for parking as it is.

The infill regulations are bringing chaos to otherwise quiet neighborhoods. Excess traffic and garbage removal in tight spaces along with parking issues. Inflated property prices and devaluation of some properties positioned between developments. Encroachment and privacy of neighbours infringed on. All infills should be based on responsible guidelines and policies.

Not happy with all the multi family homes being built in the older neighborhoods. Skinny’s seem ok, bit not the 4-8 plexes being built. Parking problems & other things that neighbors do not appreciate.

Edmonton’s Bylaw 20001 has failed.
“This zone will foster neighbourhoods with a wider range of housing options
to meet the diverse needs of Edmontonians. It will also support more
complete, compact communities where residents can meet their daily
needs closer to home.”
There is a narrow range of developments - poorly constructed multis for rent. The middle has lost. There is no space for businesses to open. The city council and few businesses have benefited. Most citizens have lost.

The established neighbourhoods of Edmonton are being destroyed by this temporary fix of dense housing. Zoning should not be cast aside. Existing property values matter. Do better City of Edmonton.

Increasing the density of our established neighbourhoods will not solve the housing crisis and will only line the pockets of greedy landlords.

I lived in my community for almost 30 years. I object to the 8 plexes going up on a lo where a bungalow sat. Too big. Too much. No control.

There is definitely a need to keep the proliferation of infills in older neighbourhoods under close scrutiny, especially with the current administration which apparently has no real understanding of intelligent city planning and seem intent on turning older communities into overcrowded, unsafe slums.

The crappy building of infill and safety issues are a huge problem and eye sore for our neighborhood. Something needs to be done before it goes too far

I live in Montrose and see some appropriate infill but mostly oversized monstrosities that block sunlight and take up every square inch of the property. Councilors need to listen to their constituents.

Lived it. Worried it will happen again. House value dropped. It was part of our retirement plan. Shame on city council.

I do not approve of the manner in which city council has pushed this through without consulting the citizens of Edmonton. This is not a prudent or thoughtful resolution to increasing density in mature neighborhood's.

Keep the integrity of older neighborhoods. Large lots, mature beautiful trees, homes that fit the same era, reduced waste in the landfill. Lots of parking and green space. Similar affluent people in the community.

City council needs to start listening to Edmontonians, if it keeps up we need a recall of the mayor and most of council.
