Unfortunately, there was also a need to provide patron parking which required a much larger piece of property. Since the LRT was announced, most pieces of property immediately around that location were targeted for development with its own parking requirements. As a result, there was no room for a long-term parking solution.
Personally, I have avoided the Northfield/85 ramps since the directions that I needed were the worst to get on or off.
This is one of those locations that makes the inability to share parking requirements painful, as the tourist train operates when the nearby parking will be mostly empty.
