Restore Edmonton's Democracy: Rescind. Rethink. Redo

Dovercourt is a beautiful, mature neighborhood, it's peaceful. We want it to stay that way.

We strongly disagree with i fills in our neighborhood. There is not enough parking as it is. Also we always have issues with the sewer drainage and it will be 100 times worse!

Properties are too large for the lots.

I do not agree with this Bylaw and the damage it is causing in our city. There is a place for affordable housing, and a need, and these developments are not filling that need.

I am signing because there needs to be some kinds of restrictions on infills and large complexes going up. They are a privacy infringement, an eye sore, and they are not practical for many other reasons.

After seeing and experiencing infill problems first hand, these bylyneed to change in older neighborhoods; and developers need to be held accountable for damages done to neighbouring homes.

The large amount of infill is bringing more traffic, limited street parking, renters who do not take care of the property (snow, leaves, lawn) and limiting sunlight to adjacent properties.

Too far. Bring back context.

Restore our rights to appeal and make drastic changes to blanket zoning

The infill has started in our neighborhood. I’m not anti-infill, nor are most in our neighborhood but the first couple of projects are insane and it’s troubling and perplexing how they were ever approved. We need to scale this back, so neighborhoods and communities are consulted, have a say in the process and end result. Developers need to stick to certain criteria so that the multiplex type homes fit into the neighborhood, don’t impede negatively on the neighbours living on either side, allow for enough parking matching the number of people living in a larger footprint, are constructed with safety, longevity and sustainability in mind, and must be affordable, whether as rentals or as a new home purchase, or there is no point in moving forward with the current infill status quo. The rules, bylaws and criteria must be reexamined, rebuilt and started for scratch with all of these things in mind or it will never be successful or accepted by the vast majority of Edmontonians.

I am especially concerned about multiplexes and buidings much taller than others in the neighbourhood. I have seen at least one terrible multiplex towering over a house in HIghlands. We have just built a new house in Montrose and were very careful to respect the architecture of the neighbour.hood Our neighbours love our house and say it fits right in. I do not want to see what happened in the HIghlands happen in Montrose. Many of our neighbours are lovely long term residents, some living here since childhood, and are very worried about declines in property values affecting their retirement nest eggs. We are all worried about increased traffic and noise, especially close to Montrose park. We love our quiet, friendly neighbourhood and feel threatened.

I specifically object to #3 Greenoch Cres. NW to be a 4 family unit. That corner is already difficult to navigate with a vehicle because of the parking congestion from the many basement suites on 40 Ave. as well as in other homes on Greenoch. A duplex with a parking pad would be acceptable. I am worried about the congestion that uncontrolled building on any city lot without examining the effects on the neighborhood congestion re traffic, parking, infrastructure upgrades, crime, neighborhood character changes when it is no longer R1, schools, garbage collection, etc. Why has all the land at Blatchford not been developed? The city should use that first. I strongly object to placing a ten plex beside a million dollar house as an example. Limit the size of what can be built very carefully. I foresee many problems arising.

I really don't support these types of housing. Our neighborhood is completely changing and losing some really beautiful housing and making it completely changed. Also the street parking has become absolutely insane as most of these don't have parking associated for them. It's just really sad to see the neighborhood that once was beautiful changed into something that takes away the beauty of the neighborhood.

Jessie walters' spouse is amicrosuite developer. Lied to us voters saying against infill. 10 people living where a 100sf house used to be is disruptive. Noisy, garbage,clutter, traffic. Parking is nightmare especially in winter. Cant get furnace cleaner etc as tgey are always parked in front of others' homes. Yet they dont shovel, mowetc. The houses are blocking out sun and views to existing homes. Destroys neighbor's value of property. And it isn't helping housing crisis. Tge 6 plex that went in discharging $2400/unit. Unreal......contributing to housing crisis. Only helping councilors and developers get richer.

About to be dwarfed by an 8- plex next door.

These infills are invasive to all of us that have purchased homes for the neighbourhood it WAS! Its not right or fair that this is happening!! This takes away privacy, community, and parking, not to mention the lack of yard maintenance and the stress they will put on the waste and the plumbing.

10 unit buildings are going up constantly in my neighborhood. Street parking is becoming increasingly difficult and garbage/recycle bin placement are not taken into account so they’re left on the side walk,

This has got to stop !

Stop these kinds of buildings being built in our quaint neighborhoods.

We currently have 5 projects on my street with upcoming more.. 2 beside my heritage home
