People should buy next to a councilor and build one of these monstrocities. See how they like it.

I’m opposed to this infill projects because when I bought a house in this neighbourhood the community was one of my considerations. If that infill were present during my selection I would not have chosen this community because it’s a way the government trying to squeeze in more population in a community designed to cater the existing ones. That means parking issues, neighbourhood issues and the government just messed up how developers convinced people why we should invest in such neighbourhood. Government should look for a lasting solution not a temporary, messed up fix.

I remember when I used to live in highlands our neighbour wanted to build a new garage with a second level. That required them to speak with other neighbours. What the council has done over the past several years and allowed these massive builds is simply wrong.

We have recently had our own infill issues with city hall but I also think what they are doing to existing neighborhoods is horrible

We have nice older areas and these big complexes do not fit in. We also have enough parking issues without adding more

Infill in mature neighborhoods is absolutely ridiculous. It is ruining the aesthetics, no parking, blocking sunlight. They SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. It's making the neighborhoods look like a toddler' drawing

I am very concerned about the current City Council’s failure to protect the nature and character of established Edmonton neighbourhoods.
Older areas are forced to bear the brunt of the City’s densification efforts, while the true costs of expansion - such as extending services ever outward- do not appear to be passed on to developers and suburbanites outside of established neighbourhoods. Nevertheless, the City is pushing ahead with the densification of mature neighbourhoods, in spite of a great deal of opposition from the very people who will be subjected to increased traffic and fewer parking spaces.
I am also concerned for people who might place solar panels on their single storey roofs, but are at risk of having “skinnies”, tall, multiple family units or “monster homes” go up right beside them, blocking the sun and nullifying their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. Even without solar panels, I object to any development that casts a shadow onto another person’s home and yard, spaces that for many of us, represent the largest single investment we will make in our lifetimes.
Up until now, the City appears to be unwilling to protect the nature and quality of life in an area where my wife and I purchased our house, almost 40 years ago. I would Edmonton City council to protect the character, predominant housing style and zoning of mature neighbourhoods.

We are being surrounded by 8 plexes feeling like we are being forced out of our beautiful home that we worked so hard to build from the ground up. Very saddened by what is happening to our once beautiful community. This needs to STOP

I am acutely concerned about the City of Edmonton’s determination about inserting bike lanes on 76th Avenue despite our concerted community efforts to twice stop their plans. The City’s $90M bike lane plan was quashed many years ago as their defense for stripping parking was met by fierce resistance from local businesses who require parking as a means to securing a business license, by 2 places of worship, seniors navigating life and overall citizen disapproval. Even the then Mayor Mandel opposed the 76th Avenue bike lane plan coining it a “nightmare”. A new fleet of City planners is feebly trying to piggyback the restoration of the Mill Creek Ravine as a means to including a bike lane. The City’s bike lane plan for 76th Avenue must be vigorously opposed once again.

We Taxpayers have the right. We were not consulted about this rediculous zoning plan. It should be put to a vote.
