I oppose the loss of trees, green space, heritage, neighbourhood character, and small affordable homes caused by the current densification approach. New housing should instead replace surface parking lots by going hand-in-hand with an excellent bus system (not LRT we cannot afford). The current approach benefits developers rather than Edmontonians.

Fourteen 8+unit infills on our street alone within between 95 ave and 90 ave. No provisions for parking or garbage bins. Every inch of the lot is used; steps come to the sidewalk. Trees are cut down; no respect for the environment. And now we have 3 storey apartment for-rent-only buildings in the middle of our neighbourhood! This is destroying the character, livability and safety of our community.

Does Epcor or the city confirmed that existing water, sanitary, and electrical utility lines on this block have the capacity for these extra units plus many other concerns

I love my neighborhood the way it is . We are not helping the communities by adding mass amounts of people on one lot. The extra traffic The extra garbage I bought a house and yard to have space not be crowded .

These older communities can't support the infills. There is not enough parking and the drainage system does not support it. It's not right that the city allows this to happen at this time or at all! People are frightened of what's to come and we should not be made to feel this way. We bought our homes thinking that we would be able to live in peace without such worry. PLEASE STOP THE INFILLS NOW!

We now have 19 units with 9 single car garages built on what was 2 single houses. There is 100 feet of avenue parking (no parking on 142 street). If each unit has 2 cars, 29 cars will use the 100 feet of avenue.

Because they are cramming duplex and four plexes into single family plots and that will destroy our ability to park throughout the city.

The city’s plans for densification completely ignore community standards and wishes. It is abundantly clear that they have not given sufficient consideration to the eventual impact of their policy.

In the long term, this policy will have a very negative effect on the city and affected communities, and will make Edmonton a less desirable place in which to live.

I am horrified at the infill happening in Millwoods. No concern for the effect on residents by our city council.

I totally disagree with what is happening in our neighborhoods and the passing of zoning changes without considering the people who live there.

Stop the ridiculous multiplexes being built in our Elmwood neighborhood. They look terrible, there is no parking, and they ruin the neighborhood homes beside them. Stop building them!!!

Community is important. This will be lost with massive 8 door + buildings going up in random places in neighbours. There will be severe unintended consequences and we need to rethink this approach.

Infills destroy neighborhoods. I don’t want it to happen in mine.

No apparent consideration given to how the rezoning impacts our established communities

The city council and mayor serve the residents of the city of Edmonton and not the developers
