Taproot Survey
Where do you stand on issues raised by voters in the 2025 municipal election?
Context:
The city's proposed substantial completion standard would mandate that developing neighbourhoods achieve a level of progress before new development is allowed in future growth areas. A city report found new neighbourhoods will cost the city $1.4 billion more than they will bring in through tax revenue. BILD Edmonton, meanwhile, advocates for the city to allow development to expand to future growth areas, arguing that new suburbs can be cost-effective.
