The debris, noise, parking and infrastructure have all been ignored by our representatives for these high density infills

The infills and multi units that are going up in the neighborhood are monstrosities. They are towering and encroaching on the houses in the neighborhood. Blocking sun and there is no we’re for all these people to park. They are not aligned with the neighborhood.

These infills are reducing greenery and trees and have a much bigger carbon footprint than building a new bungalow. And if your goal is to reduce carbon you are doing the opposite of your goal.

Infill is taking away affordable single family home housing options. For existing homeowners , it is depreciation housing prices and our ability to confidently upgrade our home with solar power and landscaping.

There needs to be more policies. I get 6 units maximum but there are greedy builders who would place a 16-unit rental property without any garage. Where shall those people park? Will our streets still be safe with the vehicles blocking the view of the streets.

Shading out neighbours, no designated parking on the lots... These infills have gotten out of control. Older neighbourhoods are valued for their quiet streets, mature trees, and SPACE! I can understand a duplex, or even a 4 plex.. WITHIN LIMITS. But a 8-16plex is absurd. There must be strict rules on height restrictions, and ensuring every unit has at least one spot to park on their lot.

It’s already hard enough to park my car and I’m tired of her counselors telling us to just ride a bicycle and take public transit. Myself and many others work in the trades and a vehicles pay your bills without realistic parking, you’re not gonna get any tax dollars.

4 huge housing projects with no parking. Street parking is already full and hard to drive down road with parking on both sides. Should limit side of new housing projects, get input from community

I am so disgusted at them buying up homes that are in perfectly fine condition only to tear them down along with all the mature trees only to be putting up multiplexes. This must be stopped as we have too many occupants already as it is and they are destroying nature.

The councilors specifically discussed parking rules and they decided that developers did NOT have to account for and plan parking in their developments. This is absurd and very wrong. There is a large 64 unit complex being build on what used to be a single residential lot. They demolished the house and are going to house 64 units in this building. If they haven't accounted for parking, where are all of these residents going to park? Not good.

This entire infil thing is totally out of control in Sakaw. How can you have 8 dwellings on a standard city lot? Ridiculous!. The one thing we can be absolutely sure of with this program is that none of it will occur within 60 meters of any city councilman or mayor. Can we have a discussion about covenants, their cost and their effectiveness such as occurred in Glenora.

Stop infill in mature neighbourhoods. It decreases the alive of homes beside them. The sale value of a person’s home is what is often used to finance their retirement. That value is significantly decreased with infill development. That is entirely unfair to the homeowner. I have seen tall infill projects that peer into neighbours yards. New neighbourhoods have been planned to have multiple types of homes from apartments to single family homes. When you buy in those neighbourhoods you know exactly what types of housing are around you. When you bought in a mature neighbourhood you also knew what was around you but now the city can change that. That is not acceptable.

Edmonton needs more science-backed, community-driven projects, not this. More 10-minute communities, less 2 hour commutes. Actual leadership that we can be proud of, instead of the Canadian equivalent of Texas.
