Restore Edmonton's Democracy: Rescind. Rethink. Redo

Please Limit densification to four units per lot in established neighbourhoods, and Reduce building heights to reflect community scale. Consider parking requirements for infill

Let’s keep Edmonton neighborhoods - friendly and reasonable!

I have no issues with infill with the exception of infill of overcrowding with more than two homes ona single lot. There are some very nice tall infill homes in our neighbourhood and there are hideously grotesque homes with six dwelling where only one used to stand. It lowers neighbouring homes worth and make once quaint blocks ugly.

I genuinely believe densification will help alleviate the strain on the housing crisis. But it needs to be done wisely. Developers racing to create overpriced rental properties in areas insufficiently prepared to handle the strains on the community isn’t the solution. Allowing developers to build with impunity in areas already lacking access to public transportation and amenities is irresponsible. We have a shortage of housing and options, that’s no doubt. But these developers are not making door knocking offers out of some sense of altruism. Instead they are creating a predatory environment in which people in some of Edmontons heritage neighborhoods are forced to decide between selling out to beat the rush, or watch the fabric that made up their community unravel.

3 multi-plex units are being constructed within a 25M radius of our existing mature street. This would bring a possible of at least 22 new units, the necessary garbage collection bins required, traffic congestion, street parking issues, destruction of green canopy, etc.

Councellors are representing people that want to move to Edmonton over the people that already live here.

Enough - the potential to have my retirement value shrink thanks to an infill is not right. The neighborhood is starting to look like a slum with torn down houses, and empty fenced yards. This could be grounds for class action law suit.

This is becoming a reckless venture in Edmonton

I am disappointed to see that we have lost some critical guidelines for responsible infill. MNO loss is truly tragic, and densification appears to have no limits to the amount of distress it causes in neighbourhoods.

Very concerned about how infill impacts the character of our neighbourhoods and the impact of Airbnb/short term rentals.

Many of us chose to live in established neighbourhoods because of the larger lots, mature trees, and the unique character these communities offer. These areas were designed as low-density neighbourhoods. Allowing large multi-unit developments like 8-plexes beside single-family homes dramatically changes the feel and function of these communities. Residents should have a voice in changes that impact their streets, homes, and property values. Bylaw #20001 removes that voice. Please consider signing the petition to ensure homeowners and residents continue to have a say in the future of our neighbourhoods.

The bylaw on infill projects needs to be reviewed. As it stands, the infill projects will add noise, traffic and garbage to any neighbourhoods they go into.

Thank you for this important work.

What a way to wreak a neighborhood

I'm old enough to remember when people on City Council used to bemoan the 'urban sprawl' and wanted the city to grow Up, instead of Out. Good times, those.

We will have: reduced parking, access to our mailboxes, garbage collection. The owner isn't even shovelling the sidewalk, and that makes it difficult to get to the mailboxes. We'll have drainage issues too. I thought this area was zoned single family? The builder has a questionable history too!

Save our trees, save our neighborhoods, much of our infill is too large, poorly landscaped, deficient or lacking in designated parking spaces which causes animosity amongst neighbours. The lack of oversight which allowed a developer to build infill in a family neighborhood and then rent it out by the ROOM is beyond ridiculous and frankly quite concerning.

City council needs to start listening to its constituents

Putting six or eight units on one lot down the street where we have lived for forty some years without any regard whatsoever to the impact is irresponsible at best. City planning should step way back from this incredibly thoughtless solution for more housing, give their heads a good shake and hopefully come up with a much more reasonable solution that would include feedback from the people that will actually suffer this intrusion as the developers are only interested in the chance to maximize their profits at the expense of us all.

7819 24 ave nw building an info right next-door to me. It’s full of asbestos. They are not remediating they took down all of the trees. They have not introduced themselves to any of their neighbors. It’s a slippery slope. It’s right next to my organic garden my hot tub my child’s bedroom window.
