An 8-plex went up beside us....very upsetting in a neighborhood full of bungalows.

We have a lovely back yard with plenty of room for gardening and our dogs. It's private and we'd like to keep it that way. I've lived here all my life and shouldn't be living in fear that soon my older neighbors will move away and their large lot will become an apartment complex with garbage and vehicles everywhere!

Ridiculous as we have a housing crisis, homeless on the rise and we allow 8-plex and bike lanes to be a priority along with businesses like vape shops located so close to schools. Seriously who is taking pride in Edmonton on the council and how are you doing so. I’m an Edmontonian and I want to move as I’ll not proud of our city anymore. The priorities and value of our city are lost.

Stop this urban ghetto ugliness. Enough destroying the safety and sanctity of our neighbourhoods.

this city council just like all the others before them DO NOT listen to the people of this city. They do everything according to their wants and likes.

I don't think the city council has considered all aspects of infill. Parking, and sewer for example. Building in an older neighborhood. Not a good idea. The underlying infrastructure cannot support this.. Never mind the aesthetics and what it's done and the decrease property values. And who wants an apartment building, or whatever you want to call it, looking in their backyard and their windows? You're supposed to represent our wishes, not your own. You don't vote on your own desires.

Be responsible. Stop catering to cheap developers. What Duggan did was a good thing. Leave them alone. Duplexes with a max 2 story height is reasonable and responsible

Stop destroying neighborhoods. Let's rent out all the new apts being built. Finish developing Blatchford first!

We just found out our neighbours sold to a developer who will put up 8 units. City council needs to dial back this “Wild West “ densification of older neighborhoods. It’s build whatever you want wherever you want.

Infill building is unfair to existing homeowners in the area

1. Maximum building height of 35 feet 2. One on-property parking spot (at least) for each unit contained therein 3. Mandatory waste bin space allocated on each property for city waste pickup program 4. City to compensate neighboring homeowners for reduced property values due to infill development 5. Reinstate mature neighborhood overlay 6. City to focus on developing vacant land such as the former Municipal Airport before authorizing additional neighborhood infills.

Too many top heavy managers and unused bike lanes. Do not using Calcium chloride on roads

I see these fourplexes and some eight plexes popping up all over the city with zero regard for neighbors, parking or seniors. Very well though of. Almost as well thought out as the bike lanes that get fully utilized throughout the year. What a joke.

There is an 8 plex currently being built 4 houses down from us & we appealed the permit. We were to receive a letter within 15 days from the Appeal board & it is going on 4 weeks with no response.

Time to reduce the number of dwellings and force developers to have parking and places for garbage cans. Ambulances have a hard time getting down my street for all the cars parkedonit.

Indiscriminate infill MUST stop! Too many human warehouses are being built that contribute nothing to the community except aggravation and despair.
