I love the new parkade, especially because almost NO ONE goes to the lower level, so you can park right next to the elevators even on a busy Saturday. The camera system is a great idea but isn't working well yet. It shows a lot of green lights for occupied spots; my guess is that when a car pulls forward too far, the system thinks there's no vehicle there. Seems to be the case every time I see a green occupied spot.
Also, they have blue lights for handicapped spots - absolutely brilliant as I occasionally find handicapped signage to be misleading.
Now if only they could get rid of those silly baby stroller spots. I'm always tempted to park in them and claim the g/f is "expecting". Maybe she just got pregnant 3 weeks ago, and the rules say "expectant mothers"...
