I am for this plan. However, I am not sold that it needs to be 22 storeys. Also, I think it would be better to use the east side that's a long the walkway for commercial use. And maybe have the south side facing the street for residential. My question would be, do there need to be ground units at all? There's plenty of apartments in the downtown core that use their mainfloor for commercial, while also including shared spaces for residents. If the idea is to try and create more of a localized community. I think having commercial spaces on the ground floor will help grow that idea.

I agree with Quadrocaterpus that hight increase is good but setback increase is likely bad. I would be very curious to know what the motivation is for that move. In general, I think businesses and even residences along the pedestrian path between buses and trains would be good. Ideally, these could open directly onto that pedestrian path to create a sort of outdoor pedestrian mall experience that could really set Mill Woods transit centre apart.

Good day My wife and I have lived in Millwoods for the past 43 years. We have no interest in high rises being developed in town center. In our opinion we all the people living in our community that it was designed for. Town center was designed for shopping and health care needs, that's all it should be used for.

I am in full support of this proposal. Creating density around the new Valley Line is the best way to ensure taxpayer investment into LRT is put to good use. This will also allow Edmonton to grow without further costly suburban sprawl.

Personally not a fan of my place of employment having to close down for this project. I have finally found a place to work that I adore and works for my family. I have two small children and it would be quite the inconvenience for my family. Unless of course you pay all of our wages during this time, but we know that will never happen. I support the building of homes for more people, I just hope you can find a better way then tearing down some already great buildings in the zone. Maybe a work around could be considered.

I am against this. The development of more large buildings in this area will interfere with the esthetic of the surrounding parkland and the overall livability of our area.

NO that would certainly not be a good location for the proposed development! There are other locations which would not impact taxpaying residents as negatively as the Millwoods TOWN CENTRE MALL AREA WOULD
Many of us who live in the area and shop there would be very displeased. Consider the increased traffic volume that would occur and especially the lack of parking spaces around the mall that would surely happen. Please DO NOT have this development occur here.
Other areas such as the area on the east side of 34 street heading toward Terwilliger with lots of open land area would certainly be less impactful for those a ways away from there.

Fabulous for growth! We truly need a great shopping expett involved in this. Hopefully attracting more legit businesses to the mall could materialize. Hopefully our mall parking won’t be affected. We have difficulty with parking now. We NEED a grocery store at the mall desperately. Hopefully, development will attract that

No need for more disruptive towers in this part of Millwoods

I would prefer to see the buildings be fewer than 22 stories, possibly half that. I'm concerned about the parking issue as well as the additional vehicles in this area causing congestion. I think ground level should be commercial not residential. This would allow more business to open up in the area. Personally I wouldn't live on the ground floor in a busy place that is a transit hub.

One other comment, if this is a DC districting, please include 'non-accessory parking' as a permitted use. I believe this has been allowed in recent Century Park development applications. Will give the developer an alternative source of income as well as save the taxpayers the cost of constructing a park&ride structure (do you see one at Century Park yet? Site is there adjacent to LRT station).

Good place for density, but I thought I remembered seeing that either the rezoning or ARP called for commercial units or active frontages facing the transit centre on the south; even if I'm not correct on that, I'm not sure why it would be omitted as it seems to me it would be an excellent place for retail shopping and services, and provide much-needed "eyes on the street" to help provide a better sense of safety and security (unlike most of our transit centres which are isolated and do not feel safe for many people).
