Restore Edmonton's Democracy: Rescind. Rethink. Redo

I support this 1000%. This bylaw is ruining our mature neighbourhoods.

This new “rezoning” is ruining our city. We should be proud of our older neighbourhoods and helping to preserve them not tear them apart and make them more modern by jamming multiple infills on one lot, building multi family buildings amongst established single family homes and especially ruining them by putting commercial properties on residential lots. This city is turning into a “cookie cutter” city with new modern builds and tearing down the older beautiful homes that have character and charm. Leave our neighbourhoods alone.

This plan was never presented in an acceptable fashion. The ramifications of it are tremendously far reaching. Parking has gone from a household with likely one or two cars, to 8 homes on one lot with the potential of 16 cars. The development that has already happened is irreversible and the bylaw change has the ability to destroy neighbourhoods. Overall it is a massive betrayal of trust by the City.

The rapid, ill-advised transformation of our neighborhood is intensifying traffic congestion and many of the new builds are unduly large and unsightly, especially because of the disappearance of genuine landscaping (for example the use of fake ‘grass’ and the removal of mature trees).

This is putting excess strain on our mature neighbourhoods and infrastructure.

What the city is doing to our neighborhoods is appalling. This should be one of many election topics.

Offers of consultation for residents have always seemed to be just for show in this city, but this approach goes beyond the pale. I can certainly see the impact in our neighbourhood (Belgravia) and I shudder to think how it will work out as more multiple dwelling units are shoe-horned in with no additional parking, no planning for traffic management and absolutely no focus on ensuring there are local services available to reduce the need for travel by personal vehicle.

Limit the number of units for an infill to two.

City council is destroying mature neighborhoods with the huge developments that do not enhance a community. They need to consult community members.

People should be consulted and have a say in how their neighborhoods are being changed .

The importance of including the community for input taking into consideration the surrounding homes and area is crucial. I am not opposed to infill if done properly and with consideration.

I purchased my home based on a quiet and safe neighborhood, lots sunlight and homeowners, not landlords taking care of their properties.

I have two infills developing 8 units to each side of my house. It is very crowded for the size of the land.

Densification must be done thoughtfully and not randomly.

As stated in this petition blanket rezoning without due diligence is akin to anarchy.

Infill is great, the amount allowed with the current zoning is wrecking neighborhoods.

Time for City Administration and City Council,listening to the taxpayers about what they need rather than the wish list they have.

* Parking needs to be included. While they are trying to get people to use transit, most are still using vehicle(s). The fourplex across from me has 11 vehicles between the four units that all park on the street. * There needs to be more transparency about potential conflict of interest for council - what ties do they, or their friends/family, have about building these new infills and garden suites * Affordability is what "they" are saying is driving this. Who can afford to build these multi-plexes? and how many will be owner occupied? They are driving the prices up, both of the build itself and the rent for the units. * Densification without supporting services? A recipe for disaster!
