The diehards will walk or take the bus to the opening; even in winter. Everyone else who's only a little bit curious and interested in trying Ion out will drive, especially in winter, which requires lots of surface parking which Fairview has an abundance of.
It is still a rumour at this point so no point getting bothered by it.
Downtown and uptown both have lots of parking, probably more than fairway or Conestoga malls.
That is true, the number of spots is probably similar, but the perception is that there is:
1) more parking at the malls
2) cheaper parking at the malls
3) less walking from parking involved at the malls
Probably only #2 is true, and only in some cases.
DTK: "We offer more than 3,400 off-street parking spaces in and around our city's core - and more than 300 free two-hour on-street parking spaces." or ~3,700 city owned + X private spots
FPM: "Parking Spaces 3,891"
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
