Here are opportunities to help inform municipal planning about gaps in active transportation, animals and pet ownership, and potential rezoning in identified growth areas. Please only answer surveys from municipalities where you are a resident.
- Missing Links 2024 — Paths For People is running its second crowd-sourced campaign to identify missing sidewalk and cycling connections across Edmonton. As in the inaugural 2019 campaign, results will be shared with City of Edmonton administration to identify where investments should be made. The group's director told CBC there is a need to update understandings of gaps because much has changed since 2019. The survey is open until July 28.
- Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw Renewal — Phase 2 (City of Edmonton) — The City of Edmonton is renewing its 20-year-old bylaw that regulates animal control. The aim is to make the bylaw reflect a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, a city manager said. Administration is looking for feedback on pet limits, business permits for pet services, rules for noisy and aggressive animals, and more. Residents can share their ideas or complete an online survey until Aug. 11.
- Priority Growth Areas Rezoning — The City of Edmonton is planning to rezone five priority areas within the Anthony Henday ring road that are expected to experience near-term growth. An in-person workshop for the 156 Street and Stony Plain Road Corridors will take place Aug. 14; a workshop for the University-Garneau Node will take place Aug. 15; and a workshop for the Wîhkwêntôwin Node and 124 Street Corridor will take place Aug. 21. Digital engagement for all areas will be open until Sept. 2.
