Public Hearing: Zoning changes to accommodate infill housing
The City of Winnipeg is holding a public hearing in regards to its plans to update the by-laws to allow more low-density housing (two, three and four unit) across the city.
You can learn more about the proposed changes by visiting the City's website here.
At Green Action Centre, we are in support of the proposed changes. You can view our written submission here. We understand there is tension between our need for housing and our need for green space. We believe it is important to understand that not building housing in our neighbourhoods will not eliminate the need for housing; it will displace it to the outer edges to energy intensive new infrastructure. A great summary of this tension and how we move past it can be found in Green vs Grey Environmentalism.
We encourage you to participate in this public hearing! It will start on June 2nd and we anticipate it will be several days long to allow for everyone to be heard. You can also submit comments in writing.
