And if your excuse for an embarrassment on the river like this is "budget" then perhaps a government funded/subsidized youth service corporation shouldn't have built on the river?
Could have sold it to a private company, say someone like 300 Assiniboine directly across the river, who could then build something that includes parking but not a surface lot directly on the riverbank, say someone like 300 Assinboine directly across the river. Thats not a, as you put it, "nothing is good enough except the perfect solution, which costs too much money" type of attitude, its more... Why did tax dollars help damage the beauty of our river while a private company managed to do much better?

Precisely. If you can't do something with in the rules/guidelines, then don't do it, There's a giant swath of land across the street that the province owned that would have been perfect for MYS, where they could put parking off the back lane. Province would probably be thrilled to sell them some of the land.
