Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Edmonton Neighbourhoods United newsletter.

Our goal is to keep residents informed about planning decisions, neighbourhood redevelopment, City initiatives, and opportunities to become involved in shaping the future of our communities.

This newsletter will be published approximately every 3–4 months and will focus on education, awareness, community stories, and practical resources for residents.

Sincerely,

Edmonton Neighbourhoods United

Residential Infill Safety & Development

Edmonton continues to experience increasing concerns related to residential infill construction. According to the City's Infill Compliance Dashboard, resident complaints increased from 196 to 514 in a single year.

Residents have reported concerns including:

• Emergency access being obstructed during construction.
• Excavation and shoring issues affecting neighbouring properties.
• Construction site safety and cleanliness.
• Blocked sidewalks and public right-of-way concerns.
• Questions surrounding the implementation of Edmonton's Blanket Zoning Bylaw and redevelopment in mature neighbourhood.

KNOW YOUR BYLAW

Each newsletter we'll simplify one section of Edmonton's Zoning Bylaw and explain it in plain language.

We'll answer questions like:

• What does this rule actually mean?
• How does it affect my property?
• Why was it created?
• What should residents know?

Our goal is to make planning information understandable and accessible for everyone.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Redevelopment can be confusing. Knowing your rights and understanding the process can make a significant difference.

Future editions will provide practical guidance on:

• Development permits
• Appeal timelines
• Construction safety concerns
• Reporting bylaw violations
• Who to contact
• Helpful City resources

COMMUNITY STORIES

Neighbourhood experiences matter.

If you have photos, construction concerns, safety issues, or redevelopment stories you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Community input helps identify recurring issues and strengthens our ability to advocate for practical solutions.
