@everyone Take Action! Two important Affordable (with a capital A!) housing projects are coming to council this week! (Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe Thursday)
A few Unsprawling volunteers put together a slidedeck (myself, CT, and @corbyn) with resources you’ll need to get up to speed, and get ready to express yourself to Council. Info and links below!
Glenmore Landing — 1,165 unit high-rise complex, mixed-use, mixed-market redevelopment of (mostly) parking space next to the MAX Yellow transitway.
Trellis Home — 50 unit/5 storey, family-oriented, entirely non-market development in the heart of Bowness - next to schools, parks, and the main street.
If you could spare any time to talk about them, it would be much appreciated. As always, you can phone in, and contribute to the hearing remotely — even calling in to say “Please build housing in established communities.” would be sufficient.
Reminding councillors that these projects include non-market housing, and already have great transit & amenities, is a bonus! Telling your story, why you care about housing, and why you think these projects will benefit Calgarians like you, is the hallmark of a premium submission.
