That said, I love the idea that after a terrible traffic day people will pull into the garage and be reminded that there may have been a more efficient/cheaper way to get to work. I wonder if they will spruce it up around the tracks in that hole. Some flowers or artwork would be cool. |
Certainly some pros and cons. I think I'll appreciate it as a lightwell. The current parking garage at the old Civic is very dark and dingy.
Still very frustrated the City didn't bother widening the trench BEFORE they built the parking garage. Line 2 was already closed for Stage 2. Would have been quicker and cheaper to do it then. When the few Councillors who voted against the new hospital project questioned the timing for widening the trench and expanding the station, Watson just shrugged them off and others were basically calling them evil for having legitimate concerns about transportation. Clearly they were right to question the City's ability to do what was needed on the transit front.
