The current council already has taken some steps to course correct and there is a report coming on parking.

I ride through Westbrook/Aspen Gardens regularly and I can probably count at least 5 houses that have sold this summer on Westbrook Drive and Marlboro Road. At least 3 complete teardown McMansions are being built and I expect that all the sold properties will likely be the same. Those lots are huge.

On the agenda: ICE District event park, public hearings for Newton and West Jasper Place
Council is scheduled to debate the ICE District event park proposal and continue hearing rezoning applications.
edmonton.taproot.news
- Six single-family homes on 155 Street, near 95 Avenue in West Jasper Place, could be demolished and replaced with a four-storey mixed-use apartment building if council approves a rezoning application. The parcel is one block away from the future Glenwood LRT stop. Some residents said they support the rezoning application because the proposed building’s location makes it ideal for medium-scale development. Others said the proposed building is too large and will block sunlight and exacerbate parking issues. Council is scheduled to vote on the application on Aug. 28 or 29.

Wow it's almost like there was pent up demand for housing near the U of A, that was being prevented from being built due to the single family home zoning. Who would have thought

I lived in one for a year, and the build quality was pretty impressive. You can really tell the difference from some of the cheaply made abominations going up.

Got an email from BILD Alberta saying that municipalities are seeing an uptake in SDAB appeals of permitted use projects. Obviously SDABs don't have the authority to affect a permitted use.
From some digging, I believe a resident can appeal an as-of-right development if they make the case that the Planner relaxed, varied, or misinterpreted the zoning bylaw. Still, there is a cost associated (for all parties) in appeals, and if the outcome is guaranteed to be unchanged, what's the point of even having that provision?

Lorne Gunter: Edmonton council's twisted vision favours brutal infill over Blatchford, Expolands opportunities
Between the Expolands and Blatchford (if it ever gets completed), nearly 40,000 Edmontonians could be housed there.

He says 200 people are living in Blatchford. Is it not higher than that?

Dumb take on infill imo. Classic Lorne. BUT, I do agree in some ways, except I would say greenfield is what we should curb until a greater buildout of large infill sites is completed. There’s a good decade of growth we can accommodate within our major infill sites, not to mention all the other small lot infills, downtown/whyte/TOD projects.Lorne Gunter: Edmonton council's twisted vision favours brutal infill over Blatchford, Expolands opportunities

Tired of seeing more apartments in secord and keswick. No need to open up south of 41ave for at least 15+ years.

if land south of 41 ave is not opened for 15+ years what happens to pricing in infill?
