I think it was Viking who once put together a colour coded map, illustrating all the surface lots in downtown. If you think you get a good sense of all the surface lots when walking around downtown, the map really drives the point home.

Just like most, if not all of you guys... I'd like to see more commercial office development downtown. However, I probably differ in that I don't think it has to be skyscrapers, but rather a bunch of modest 3-5 story office buildings where the surface lots are. This would be a great improvement and a more feasible scenario to filling the surface lots with development.

If anything, the city should do what it can to discourage suburban 'office parks' and encourage such development in downtown where our surface lots are.
