It does look a little Desert'y on the left there and that pond looks like it might also be from a desert landscape. Why would they use a non-Morinville pic?

It's not. It is Surprise Arizona looking South from Bell Rd between N Parkview Place and N Stadium Way.

- Councillors at an urban planning committee meeting on Sept. 9 will be asked to allow administration to create a plan for a new suburb south of Anthony Henday Drive. Administration requires council approval to begin planning new neighbourhoods. The urban planning committee will be asked to recommend that city council authorize administration to create a statutory plan for Snowberry, a neighbourhood in Decoteau in southeast Edmonton.
On the agenda: Airbnb regulations, downtown infill, new suburb
Council is scheduled to discuss increased regulations for Airbnbs and other short-term rentals, enhanced electrical infrastructure to support infill downtown, and the creation of a master plan for a new suburb.

Th 'urban elitism' here exhausting! The fact of the matter is that suburbs are being built, that's not going to stop. And, like in central mature communities with infill, PEOPLE live in those suburbs; everyday families, working-class citizens who raise their kids, go to work. How is living in a new suburban community being a snob?!
Instead, what you should be advocating for and bit$%ing more about, is to see a BETTER BUILT suburb. Maybe communities that revert back to the main street model, with street-front retail, grid streets, bike lanes that are properly integrated, walkable to SAFE transit, the elimination of stroads - an experience akin to Whyte and the residential areas off it or Alberta Ave, where single family homes on narrower lots front tree-lined streets, with the garages in the back.
Your '15 minute city' council continues to approve bland auto-based suburb after auto-based suburb, anchored by the grocery retail with a sea of parking. Your beef should be on that and the hypocrisy of council and the city's planners, rather than putting it on the people via 'snobbery lane' comments. Jeez

I think it was a joke about the name…

Snowberry sounds like Snobbery, that is the joke.
whattheheck, the confusion you are having might be a real life scenario that happens to a resident in Snowberry.

I believe the Snowberry name is indigenous origin/related like the other Decoteau neighborhoods such as Meltwater...

But the new suburbs are very dense unlike before. How do you seem them being developed and built out? Genuine question.

I feel a lot of people who live in/want to live in the suburbs want or are comfortable with the 5 minute drive lifestyle rather than something more walkable. However, I suppose we can't say for sure as we are not really given the choice. Unfortunately, our council and planners do just seem to continue to follow the path of least resistance and what requires the least thought or imagination.

Yet they complain endlessly about traffic on 111st, rabbit hill road, 23rd ave, terwillegar, the henday, etc.
They are ok until the reality of their choices happens.
We know that when people experience well built, walkable areas, the majority do prefer those.
We need to build new suburbs with better transit, main streets, and town centres. See West District in Calgary.

I think curb bulbs should be a mandatory feature at every crosswalk on neighborhood roads.

I would love to see more of a mainstreet approach to new commercial developments in suburbs as well as boulevards.
