Here's CBC's take on the downtown development plan:

Quote:
Surface parking lots, estimated to cover more than 40 per cent of downtown, will largely be replaced by new buildings. The plans calls for most to include parking garages.
About 4,800 public and private parking spaces are available in the core, the plan states. It calls for that to increase to 5,580 as development occurs.
"Parking in downtown Moncton — that's on everyone's mind," Coun. Greg Turner said, adding he's pleased the plan calls for additional parking.

5,580 parking spots in the core should be enough IMHO, especially since they would be "shared use spaces", rather than bootable private spaces that take up land and suck the oxygen out of the downtown area........
