Both parking and substations are important infrastructure pieces that are needed to make a successful community.

So are proper Bike Lanes, Rapid Transit, Car Pool Specific Locations, and Shuttle Locations. But there don't seem to be any of these locations downtown. (Except Assiniboine Avenue).
I would say that we have bigger problems than lack of parking at the moment or any time in the future. The single person car is a phenomenon that will soon switch to more efficient means of space.
