Restore Edmonton's Democracy: Rescind. Rethink. Redo

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.

Against infill being built mid block. 726 Lee ridge rd specifically

Apparently we do not heed a city council - As Residents our votes do not seem to count -

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.

Stop the crime.

Infill is a scourge!!

Nobody wants to go downtown. Everyone from edmonton would rather go to malls or whyte ave.

Slow this crazy zoning, and building of 4 and 8 plexes

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.

They are destroying some of the most beautiful areas of the city . Stop the infill . If the want lots of home in a small area, then make new subdivisions in the new areas . Stop wrecking our city !!

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

Stop ruining our mature neighbourhoods by replacing single family homes with multi-family and multi-storey structures.
