Should 65 Hectares of Griesbach Be Redeveloped for New Housing?

Official title: Griesbach Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) Amendment

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Edmonton is considering a plan to redevelop 160 acres in northeast Griesbach. The proposal includes a mix of low and medium density housing, plus a small commercial area at 153 Avenue and Beaumaris Road. The maple trees along 97 Street would be preserved, and new parks would be added throughout. This is about the neighbourhood plan only—rezoning and construction come later.

Why This Matters

Live in or near Griesbach? This plan shapes what gets built next door. More housing could mean more neighbours, more traffic, but also more parks and local shops. The maple trees you walk past on 97 Street? They're staying. If you have thoughts on how this area should grow, now's the time to share them.

What Could Change

If approved, this plan would allow developers to build a mix of houses and medium-density housing on 65 hectares. A small commercial area would be permitted at 153 Avenue and Beaumaris Road. The road network would be reconfigured, including changes to transit routes and pedestrian paths. Rezoning applications would follow.

Key Issues

  • Is the proposed mix of low and medium density housing appropriate for this area?
  • Are the proposed changes to roads, transit routes, and pedestrian paths acceptable?
  • Is the location and amount of new park space adequate?
  • Should a mixed-use commercial area be included at 153 Avenue and Beaumaris Road?
