Buried Report Reveals City Knew of Public Concern Before Zoning Vote
A 72-page report buried deep in an online library reveals Edmonton city hall knew there was widespread public concern about the new zoning bylaw months before council passed it. The problem for city councillors: they may have never seen it.
The great strength of BetterInfill is the huge number of talented and committed people it has brought together. It was one of these people who tipped us off about the report.
Here is the story…
The Coalition for Better Infill is a network of citizens from across Edmonton who are deeply concerned about the city’s de-regulation of the infill development industry.
Our supporters include planners, architects, and engineers; environmentalists and builders; community organizers, entrepreneurs, seniors and young families.
Better Infill is run by volunteers and funded by donations.

Changes to bylaws give huge flexibility to infill developers and take away most opportunities for you to appeal projects, even on your own block.
This means your new district plan could allow for a mid-rise or high-rise building to be built next door.
Imagine the uncertainty of not knowing what could be built beside you.
