Residents asked for feedback on what new development in mature communities could look like
Feedback will be used to inform the Residential Infill Strategy
September 16, 2019
As Winnipeg’s population continues to grow, the City wants to hear from residents about what new developments in mature communities should look like. The feedback will help shape the Residential Infill Strategy.
As directed by City Council, the Residential Infill Strategy is being developed to help advance a shared vision for residential infill that helps address demand for new housing while preserving neighbourhood quality, character, and liveability.
Residential infill is new housing in established neighbourhoods. New housing can be single-family, two-family, townhouse, or multi-family.
The current round of public engagement is focused on residential infill design guidelines and intensification criteria. This will help ensure new development in mature communities is compatible in form, scale, and design, and to help determine when and where density changes should occur on residential streets.
There are several options for residents to share their thoughts. Feedback can be provided through an online survey, open until October 10, 2019, or at any of the following public open houses:
