King-Victoria Transit Hub

Is this an official stance anywhere?  Breslau was intended, I thought by both Metrolinx and the region, as the park and ride station.  Central station should have zero parking .

I thought I saw it somewhere, but likely not from the Region.

As for zero parking, this seems ridiculous.  I know you hate parking minimums and parking in general, but people drive cars.  That's the reality of our society.  So there should be some parking.  That combined with the fact that that end of downtown could use a public parking garage long term makes this make sense at this location.

So, parking minimums and parking are two different things.  I think there should be no parking minimums anywhere.  Developers should provide exactly as much parking as the market demands.

And I agree, most places, this will be more than zero.

But at the central transit station, this is the one place in the city, where I'd argue that zero is reasonable, but obviously, this is only my opinion.

There's another issue which you allude to which is combined parking (instead of each use having their own parking), which is a no brainer downtown, and whether you think there's insufficient parking in that area of downtown is a reasonable question.
