Parking! Parking! Parking! The entire plan is a "how do we preserve parking" plan and they still aren't happy.
Quote:
With many ByWard Market establishments focused on nighttime business, Sirois said parking is invaluable to the success of the area.
“I would say about 70 per cent of our customers are coming down by car … Removing parking is super-tough for mom-and-pop retail shops and for the people that come down for lunch. We are predominantly in the nighttime business economy. I would say that there are way more nighttime drivers than people using public transportation.” That need will be exacerbated if and when the 70 Clarence St. garage is transformed into a “destination hub.”

People go to the Market to get drunk at night. Maybe having so many people driving is bad. Maybe improved transit options at night would actually help more.
