Infill revisions

Tim Cartmell owes us an explanation

Michael: I’m door knocking in your community this summer. Will you join me?

UPDATE: My infill amendments (mostly) pass:

The majority of my proposed changes passed, except for one key change that failed by one vote because Councillor Cartmell went on vacation.

I have been leading the charge at City Hall to improve infill (size, setbacks, design, construction accountability and more), and you can read about those amendments and my (very disappointed) reaction here: (https://www.michaeljanz.ca/infill?active=vacation_over_vote)

CBC Used AI to measure Edmonton's urban sprawl, and you can view it with this interactive map.

To combat climate change, cities need to control their urban sprawl and intensify population density. However, in the past two decades, the urbanized areas of major Canadian centres have grown by 34 per cent and their population density has fallen by six per cent.

In the low amenity-dense zones, residents must leave their neighbourhoods in order to meet their basic needs. In these parts of Edmonton, the proportion of car commuters hits 84 per cent. The vast majority of vehicles move just one person, causing congestion.

Data shows that limited supply is associated with greatest rent increases in low-income neighborhoods.

Tell Danielle Smith City Hall is not for sale.

With your help, I'm excited to get back to work building a safer, more affordable, and more welcoming Edmonton for everyone.

This election is different: The UCP has introduced a political party experiment, funnelling big developer, corporate and landlord money into municipal political parties, which I strongly oppose.

I am running as an Independent candidate and I do not accept developer donations. My opponents are supporting Danielle Smith’s attempted takeover of city hall and running for corporate and developer funded parties. We need your help.
