Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[panamaniac]

It’s currently sitting there empty. Why not make a bit of money until there is a plan in place. Many will never take transit or bike to downtown for many reasons or don’t feel comfortable parking in garages. If it gets more people downtown spending money why not?

First of all, there's tons of parking, this doesn't enable anyone new to come downtown. If you aren't coming downtown because of a false belief there is no parking, this won't change that.

Second of all, I said exactly why in my post...because people will get used to parking here, then they will get angry when it gets taken away. Please, if you don't believe people will complain when this is closed, I have a bridge to sell you.

Why would one be concerned that people might complain?  Somebody is always complaining about something.  It usually makes no difference, and when it does, it probably should.
