These ridiculous parking minimums need to go. That's people's main concern, and it's incredibly costly. When I owned a condo at Paradigm and rented it out, my tenant didn't even have a car. Many people had empty parking spots because they didn't require or couldn't afford a car. These new developments need to scrap having so many parking spots. People will also bitch about how a developer expects people to live here without a car, but evidently many do, so the parking ratios of 1.18 is absolutely bonkers.
I can't believe in a climate emergency and also in a city trying to reduce car dependency, a development right on top of Go transit and Burlington bus which has been steadily improving, they have this kind of parking ratios.
