City invites input on Garneau rezoning and Snow and Ice Control Communications Survey
The City of Edmonton invites residents’ input into projects, policies and initiatives that grow communities, establish government services and prepare the city for the future.
Below are current opportunities for Edmontonians to shape the city.
Supporting healthier and more inclusive communities:
Snow and Ice Control Program. The City invites residents to complete the Snow and Ice annual communications survey to help inform communications to the public. Visit edmonton.ca/SafeTravels to provide feedback from April 1 to 14.
Changing neighbourhoods to meet changing needs:
West 240 Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan. The City invites feedback on a proposed Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) called West 240 (formerly the U of A farmland). The land is in southwest Edmonton between 122 Street and Whitemud Creek, and the Grandview Heights and Lansdowne neighbourhoods. The proposed NASP will create a new neighbourhood with residential and non-residential uses. This is Phase 2 of the engagement. Visit engaged.edmonton.ca/West240 to provide feedback until April 19.
Garneau rezoning. The City welcomes your input on a rezoning application for a property at 11054 84 Ave., which currently forms part of a Direct Development Control Provision (DC1 6220), also known as the Garneau Special Character Residential Area. The proposed zone is a new Direct Control Zone (DC) that allows up to six dwellings and a maximum height of 10.5 metres while retaining architectural features that complement the urban design elements of the area. Engagement is open until April 26. Provide your feedback at engaged.edmonton.ca/GarneauRezoning.
Garneau Special Character Area. The City invites your feedback on a proposed amendment to the boundaries of the DC1.6220 Zone in the Garneau Special Character Area to remove 11054 84 Ave. The Garneau Special Character Residential Area was adopted under Land Use Bylaw 5996 and contains regulations, references and definitions that are not found under Zoning Bylaw 20001. The proposed new Direct Control Zone will contain much of the same development controls, but will be aligned with current Zoning Bylaw writing standards. Engagement is open until April 26. Provide your feedback at engaged.edmonton.ca/GarneauSpecialCharacterAreaRezoning.
Defining what Edmonton will look like in the future:
Fall 2026 Naturalization Planting. Select sites in the Desrochers, Allard, Cavanagh, Callaghan, Chappelle, Heritage Valley and Windermere neighbourhoods are part of the Fall 2026 Naturalization Planting schedule. The City of Edmonton is expanding the urban forest to plant two million new trees by 2031 and 20 per cent canopy coverage by 2071. A major part of reaching this goal is determining the optimal locations for new plantings and selecting plants that best serve those who will live, work and play in those areas. Visit engaged.edmonton.ca/NaturalizationPlantingSites to access the engagement opportunity for your neighbourhood until April 12.
Heritage Places Strategy. The City is entering the third and final phase of developing our new Heritage Places Strategy. The strategy will replace Edmonton’s current Historic Resource Management Plan (2009) to include diverse histories, voices and places. The City is seeking feedback on the recommended directions and implementation ideas proposed in the first draft. Visit engaged.edmonton.ca/HeritagePlacesStrategy to provide feedback until April 19.
2027-2030 Budget Engagement. The City is building the 2027-2030 budget this year and is seeking input from Edmontonians on what is most important to them. The budget sets out services and construction projects over the next four years, along with the property taxes and user fees needed to pay for them. Results will guide the development of the budget and be shared with Council this fall to support budget decision-making. Edmontonians can provide input through in-person and online public engagement opportunities. The Ward Dene open house will be held April 9 at St. Elizabeth Seton School, 3711 135 Ave. NW, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Visit engaged.edmonton.ca/Budget for more information about open house dates and locations and to provide input until May 1.
