CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

I feel the Millwoods area could use some additional business space and housing with the opportunity to revitalize and freshen the area. Especially important as the area is older and dated, and could use some new development. However, I disagree the area requires a 22 story building. I agree with the other poster that there is a building in the area already quite tall and sticks out among other buildings in the area. As we are bordering the edge of the city by the Anthony Henday, I feel this tall of a building would further impact the city sky line view and ascetics. Millwoods is a community and group area within a city setting. I feel that needs to be taken into account and preserved and have this in mind. The more close knit feel would be appreciated (town within a city, with city amenities verses a city within a city). Also, bringing in this many units (if proposing a 22 story building) will bring additional individuals and families. What other developments and changes have been proposed to support this? Grey Nuns Emergency is overrun, Dr's offices are overrun (we could use an urgent care centre which is attached to the Emergency for more urgent care items but not those necessarily emergent/life threatening), schools are at maximum capacity and we require some added development, Millwoods Town Centre requires some updating and added businesses (the mall really is in poor appeal for residents and others from outside the Millwoods area). On thing I have to mention too is that I notice the documents reflect consultaiton in the area as far back as 2011. That is quite long ago and turn over has occurred. This feedback also was very poorly communicated. Please consider a mailout for residents in Millwoods area (not just businesses), and billboards placed in multiple places in the area. I have spoken to many and no one is aware of this proposal. Also to add, the documents, while comprehensive, are overwhelming to those who would not understand how to read them and make sense of what is being discussed. An added FAQ document with a shorter (say 10 pages) document written for the general public at an easier reading and understanding level would be appreciated. I'm also surprised that with our multicultural and diverse community there are not some items written in other languages to at least get the communication out for those to have consultation and explanation in their own language. They would have extremely difficult time understanding the documents and being able to provide comment. With the City's views on diversity and multiculturalism, I'm surprised at this.

This is totally ridiculous, Why do we need slums' in Millwood's ?
The road network is a disaster. The train has ruined this neighborhood.
I cannot be more against this development or any of its type.

Eugene Leicht 3 months ago

Great idea to increase population density near transit and commercial facilities. The extra height in this location won't affect neighbours. This may reduce overall construction costs and keep the housing more affordable.

If the extra setback space is used effectively, it could add to the overall functionality; it should not just create dead space.

I am against this development. Thos lot is where I and many park for the lrt stop at mill woods. I pay $25 a month.
Unless this parking is addressed and a solution for the same cost is provided, I will not support this.

Should have commercial uses along the transit centre frontage. Other than that, looks good for MWTC Major Node.

No way, 22 story building with 550 places to stuff people into sounds like a 15 mins city to me. Anyone reading this watch JUDGE DREDD this will.be the outcome.

the higher the better. Edmonton needs alot more skyscrapers because WE LIVE IN A CITY, NOT A VILLAGE City should approve it already and it will enhance the overall appearance of the city and also the business around the area. I dont see any negative feedbacks of building nice looking high condos at all. People need to think with a 2024 brain. I and my friends filly support this.

This sounds like a very interesting project. I like that it will allow for small schools throughout the area to thrive with an influx of new children being brought into the community. I do however question if the high schools in this area can handle any more students. I also wonder about parking for residents who choose to keep vehicles. Are there still plans to keep green space within the complex?
