Parking in Waterloo Region

[plam]

Article in The Record talking about a long awaited parking garage for Uptown Waterloo, that will be delayed due to the city's ability to find a developer to help fund the project. 

Perhaps this delay is a blessing in disguise. Once the LRT is here presumably the demand for Uptown parking spaces will diminish and the need for net new spots reduced or eliminated.

The article talks about commissioning a parking financial model. Seems like we don't even know what the need for parking is right now. It's a bit shocking that the City was hoping to build a structure without knowing the need for such a structure. And yes, I also hope the demand for Uptown parking will diminish with LRT.
