Restore Edmonton's Democracy: Rescind. Rethink. Redo

Ashley Salvador's people were here campaigning last night. This woman is NOT a good counsellor . . . she simply follows Sohi's agenda. She does not support anyone in this neighborhood!

I'm aware I'm not a current resident, but I care for my neighbours and true affordability for them and for residents of Edmonton. We need to stop pandering to businesses and think about what the existing population needs.

Stop the madness. Jamming cheap ugly multi-unit boxes onto standard lots is destroying communities. Set some building standards. Quality over quantity.

True. We need more housing. But let’s be communicative and constructive and plan together. Give us back our voice!

I strongly condemn infill plans

I have lived in Grovenor beginning in 1979. What this city has allowed our neighbourhood to be transformed to is out of greed and not love of Edmonton or communities or Edmontonians. Do better.

Across 157 Street from Fred Broadstock Pool, there are 5 out of 8 lots in a row approved for demotion, 4 of which have been approved for 4 suite homes with 4 secondary basement suites. Safety concerns with higher vehicle traffic when pool is open and where will are all the cars attached to these homes to park??

We are one of the unlucky families that have had the 4 row housing developments built by our home. It’s a monstrosity! The developers don’t follow the rules and try to get away with anything they can. Will be leaving Edmonton as soon as possible

We are one of the “lucky” ones to have a disaster being built beside our house. It has 24 bedrooms and is 3 stories tall. We don’t have sun until noon anymore. The developer didn’t follow the rules and there were no signs posted. And the city of Edmonton scrapped the guidelines that would have given at least some direction to developers. This build has perverted every rule it could and the city didn’t care. 11348-110A if you want to see a joke to a neighborhood

This bylaw is destroying the character of neighbourhoods all around our city.

Complete against the infill program of max 8 units built on a singular residential lot. 4 units is what I’d champion for at maximum, and even then the size of the lot would have to accommodate 4 waste bins; 4 recycle bins three metres apart. The current situation doesn’t allow for a proper waste removal; snow clearing; PARKING! Did you people at City Hall ever think about parking for residential neighborhoods?

This new zoning will ruin a lot of neighborhoods

I am opposed to 4, 6, 8-suite or larger builds of multiple family units in residential neighbourhoods such as Greenfield! These older neighbourhoods were not designed for large housing units such as these. Perhaps neighbourhoods with larger individual yards are more amenable to multi family housing, but Greenfield is not!

Mature neighborhoods should be kept the way they are. There are MANY condos around the city left vacant. I understand the need to take down old house in older neighborhoods but be responsible about what goes in, such as a house with a rental suit, house and carriage house or two skinny houses. In no way should 4, 6 or 8 plexes go into an established neighbourhoods. Please think of logistics of an 8plex . That means at least 8-16 more cars on a street. Garbage/ green bin day means 16 more cans on the street. The Duggan neighbourhood has many front garages meaning there is little street parking. 4 houses away from the proposed lot are 3 houses with a-joining driveways so the neighborhood already has very limited parking available. Please do not allow 4, 6,8 plex into neighbourhoods. The only people benefiting is the developer who will make money and the city who will get taxes. Please consider using old office buildings downtown or run down houses on major roads that have been left empty for years such as 109 street not where people live. neighborhoods

This city government is terribly mislead.

Stop the corruption

Before I lived in Duggan, I lived in Vancouver. I saw first hand how older neighbours became overpopulated and it stressed out the local infrastructure. Vancouver did not have the infrastructure to support a 4 or 8 plex on one lot and neither does Edmonton! As a city tax payer and homeowners, I do not want to be shrouded by a massive building on either side of me and no natural light can enter my house. How is that fair?

As it stands currently Bylaw 20001 has the potential to destroy the neighbourhoods that many citizens have worked their entire lives to call home. Without rules to curb excessive development by people who have no interest (other than making a quick profit) we risk tearing out the very soul of many established neighbourhoods. Zoning Bylaw 20001 is a disaster. Please show some respect for the Edmontonians that call these neighbourhoods home.

i’m not confident that multiplexes solve the housing crisis but i am certain they are going to stress mature infrastructure in older neighbourhoods such as water and sewer that are already showing signs of impact with current load due to age.

I understand the need but need to control the game.
