I expect that the business community would be happy with that idea, as businesses always tend to be keen on extra parking. I don't think it would do much for the shopping strip though, no matter how much it is prettied up, but I wouldn't be keen on a parking structure there. |
Thanks for the input Phil.
I can see that this corner is important due to its location.
However, with the retail and office space coming on board at Lansdowne, plus the development of the Beer Store site, there may not be much demand/need for more such space in this area for many years to come.
If the business community should be keen on another parking garage , perhaps the GBA should arrange financing for one, with any future profits from operating the garage going to fund the GBA.
It is just an idea I had, without knowing if it could be financially viable.
