Plan Whyte
Edmonton city council postponed the South Park on Whyte development decision in order to hear more details on Plan Whyte work done to date. Plan Whyte is a City initiated a land use study for the Whyte Avenue Commercial Area portion of the Strathcona Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP). The goal of Plan Whyte is to better understand how the area’s heritage, character, and livability can be further strengthened while exploring opportunities for additional development over the next 20-25 years. The city will be presenting a Plan Whyte report on March 20 at the public hearing. Individuals who have concerns about Plan Whyte can register to speak.
A working group has been put together under the Civics Committees direction to provide input and develop our vision of this commercial area of the existing ARP. Council has indicated it will be looking at height. A major focus of the working group will be to look at how increased density can be achieved without resorting solely to an increase in the number of high rises. Opportunities for greater community input will be posted on our website and our Facebook page.
