District Planning Online Info Session

Hello Ward Ipiihkohkanipiaohtsi residents:

You can sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScR-jGISf7OAmuhnDxz5W9mmq9saMQPIYKVsmyVbO7_25pbvQ/viewform

for one of three virtual public information sessions on April 22, 23 and 24 to learn more about our city's District Planning, the changes made to the draft Policy and plans since public engagement in late 2023, and how to participate in the upcoming public hearing.

District Planning guides where development is encouraged and shows where infrastructure and service improvements, such as roadways, parks and transit, are needed to support that development. This also helps reduce barriers to building new homes and encourages business investment in our city, which is a key goal of The City Plan and Edmonton’s Economic Action Plan.

City Council will consider the proposed District Policy and 15 district plans, as well as the existing geographic plans proposed to be retired or changed, at a statutory City Council Public Hearing scheduled for May 28-30.

Following the May Public Hearing, the District Policy and plans must go to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board for approval under the Regional Evaluation Framework. They will then return to City Council in fall 2024 before coming into effect.
