Planning
Do you support the city's current approach to infill?
Context:
Edmonton's Infill Roadmap 2018 contains 25 actions intended to help welcome more people and homes into the city's older neighbourhoods. As of 2021, the roadmap is two-thirds complete, with work on the remaining nine actions already underway. After 2022, infill initiatives will be advanced through implementation of the City Plan, which targets that 50% of new housing units be added through infill city-wide.
