In a continued effort to revitalize downtown Edmonton and reduce urban sprawl, the city is discussing a plan that would allow for certain lots in mature neighbourhoods to be split into two.
Under the plan, those who own lots that are at least 50 feet in width, and zoned for a duplex or more could apply to have their lot split into two, and a home built on each lot.
The decision to split up a lot would be a voluntary one for lot owners.
There is no timeline to implement the strategy at this time.
Calgary has had a similar policy in place for several years.
