engage edmonton

Missing Middle Housing

City council will be advancing a new initiative for middle density infill which will focus mainly around transit corridors, transit oriented development areas, pre-war, and RF3 neighbourhoods. This infill comprises of apartments under 6 storeys, row housing, and courtyard housing.

West Jasper Place is unique in that the community does not have a 'missing middle'. We have over 65% of dwellings as apartment units which is the direct opposite of most mature neighbourhoods. In order to encourage a diversity of housing, the Jasper Place ARP does not support new apartments in new areas of our community. New apartments are only permitted in our RA7 zones on 149th Street, 156th Street and between 100th Avenue and Stony Plain Road.


100 Ave Trail Litter

100 Ave Trail LitterCity of Edmonton Waste Services has placed litter receptacles at each block on the multi-use trail along 100 Ave between 150 St. and 163 St. They should be emptying the containers on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Help us monitor the maintenance and litter problems by letting the City know, at 311, whenever you see overflowing litter receptacles, or other instances of accumulating litter along the path.
