A report details the 14 goals of the City Plan and establishes baselines to measure success. Goals include keeping the city’s net carbon emissions under 135 million tonnes and being net-neutral by 2050. But the report suggests that, at the city’s current rate, the carbon budget will deplete by 2037, 13 years ahead of schedule.
Another goal is to welcome 600,000 new residents into Edmonton’s redeveloping area, generally defined as inside Anthony Henday Drive. The current baseline population is about 811,000. One goal aims to have 50% of resident trips made using transit and active transportation; the baseline is 15%, a measurement from 2015. The city said the percentage has remained stable over the last 30 years, requiring “different and transformative approaches.” The goals also include ensuring no one is in core housing need, meaning their housing is an appropriate size and costs less than 30% of their pre-tax income. The baseline for those in core housing need is a 2016 measurement, when nearly 50,000 residents faced such a challenge.
