If there is any silver lining to trueviking's surface parking map, it's that the number of surface lots downtown is actually starting to decline. If most or even just some of the rumoured projects being discussed actually get built, there will be a noticeable decrease in the number of surface lots downtown... that hasn't happened in quite some time.

Both Katz and Selinger campaigned on decreasing the number of surface parking lots downtown. I'm not sure how much they've actually had to do with the looming downtown mini-boom, but it looks like those campaign promises are starting to come true.
