It is easy to explain the functional justification for the parkade, but it does not have to be ugly. It could be a beautiful building that integrates into the area and adds some value for the city. How about a natural history theme with an artistic exterior and exhibits inside?

But the discussion seemed to be stuck between the province promoting a utilitarian build with no concern for the city and the "Friends of the Status Quo" simply being opposed to any kind of construction. At least that's the impression I get from the news articles and the renderings.
