I wonder what that the assessment on this new building will be...bet the property taxes will be worth more than what the City is charging for parking.
Aren’t the complaints bogus anyway? I mean, in the sense that there is, in fact, lots of available parking very nearby. “I’m losing my parking, and the nearest replacement is pretty far away” could be a legitimate complaint (shouldn’t necessarily control what anybody else does, but could be legitimate), whereas “I’m losing my favourite parking spot” isn’t a legitimate complaint at all.
Lol, at least one comment was "where will I park, there's no nearby parking.", and with good reason, the article basically says that (including interviewing someone who doesn't visit DTK because of no parking). Yet this is across the road from the City Hall parking garage, and on the same block as the Duke St. garage. Failing to mention this fact along with the parking studies which show plenty of empty space is a pretty glaring omission, although I do give them credit for talking about how parking is less important DTK.
