Here are opportunities to help shape the city's development by providing feedback on designs and proposals.

103A Avenue and 99 Street Streetscape and Pedway (advise) — The city wants feedback on its latest designs for two downtown revitalization projects: a streetscape project around 103A Avenue and 99 Street and an underground pedway between Churchill LRT Station and the upcoming Station Lands development. Residents can share thoughts in a discussion board until Feb. 13.
Mill Woods Town Centre Land Development Application — The city received a request to rezone a portion of Mill Woods Town Centre to allow for the construction two 20-storey residential towers on a single six-storey podium. The developer wants to rezone 2331 66 Street NW as a Direct Control Zone, a new zoning category introduced as part of the city's zoning bylaw renewal, to increase maximum height and setbacks between the buildings and the LRT station. The project is considered phase 1 of the redevelopment of Mill Woods Town Centre into a transit-oriented hub in line with the city's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) guidelines. Residents can ask a question about the application or share their thoughts until Feb. 25.
Hillview Neighbourhood and Alley Renewal (refine) — The city released a draft design for its renewal of the Hillview community in Mill Woods, which is based on previous public input and meets city standards and policies. Residents can meet the project team at a drop-in event on Feb. 15 or complete a survey by Feb. 25.
