Infill came up a lot during the recent election campaign. A new City Council was sworn in last week, and they will likely be looking for ways to build community support for densification.

It’s perfect timing for the Garneau Community League’s proposed amendment to the Scona District Plan. During the last council, Andrew Knack and several other councillors voiced support for community-led planning, particularly in response to contentious rezoning hearings that would have seen another microsuite dropped squarely in the middle of historic 89 Avenue.

Two weeks ago, City Council held its public hearing on Priority Growth Area (PGA) rezonings, which affect Garneau and several other neighbourhoods.
