Green spaces should be saved … such as in Bluequill where I was a long term resident … Also I am concerned about limited public parking space where new the 4 to 6 plexes are being built, squeezed into residential communities…

2 skinnies across the street with total of 4 units. They bring 6 vehicles that park out front. Not to mention b/f,g/f cars too. Building an eight plex 2 lots down. Can’t imagine where cars will go

Hate what we see with 8plexes and overbuilt houses. Need to repeal this ridiculous bylaw

No one who lives in a mature neighbourhood wants to live right next to an 8 Plex and their sunlight taken away. There is also the issue of parking.

The zoning bylaws were changed to benefit developers and make real estate more expensive, while also forcing average citizens to take on the majority of the tax burden.

I am dismayed at what the city has decided to approve for infill buildings. There has been no regard for current residents. In our case, having multi story 6 and 8 plexes is making it more difficult for seniors to find modest bungalows to live in. We are beginning to feel like we need to move out of a neighbourhood where much of our life was invested. An all for developers to make more money. Edmonton is a city with one of the highest undeveloped areas suitable for building in the nation. Why are we not encouraging those areas to be developed? I also see large apartment buildings (like The Hat) still looking for tenants. Why then build mini apartment buildings when these are not yet full? Many of us will be voting against our current city Counselor if this is not changed.

This needs to be supported as we have too much of this infill with little regard for the people living there

I feel The City of Edmonton are not respecting their constituents. More people are moving to smaller towns & villages because of the threat of having a 6-8 story buildings being built beside their homes. There are so many other areas that are not being considered for example 66 St 122-124 Ave. Decrepit buildings that are vacant or not being maintained. Leave the older areas alone.

Community consultation is lacking for infrastructure, rezoning and safety.

I’m 100% opposed This will kill the vibe people seek in older neighborhoods and the property values.

100% yes to responsible infill and gradual densification. No to blanket rezoning that is destroying our neighbourhoods.

Zoning must be revisitied - “densification” needs supportive services, transportation,, parking etc. . Size must be limited in residential areas.

Densification is needed, but not without foresight and oversight which the City is presently neglecting. The oversized, soul-less boxes the City has allowed in mass production are destroying our neighbourhoods. The taxpayers of Edmonton need better representation than our the current City council.

We need environmentally responsible and respectful densification that maintains the community’s character and green space. Our community already has major issues with parking congestion and I have seen multiple near misses with vehicles that could have resulted in serious injury. I’m also concerned that we will be priced out of our own neighbourhood. I love the community I live in!

Infills are killing the established neighbourhoods and it's not pretty. Plus lack of parking and living next door to a larger home is terrible.
