Day started out rough with the dog shooting but it’s looking up with these parking lot destructions.

I’m trying to understand your logic in how we’re going to keep parking for the people concerned for safety but not have it overwhelmed with people who just don’t want to travel any other way.
I also think it’s odd when people on the pro-parking side are defensive if surface lots. All of us should hate how space wasteful and ugly surface lots are at least.

So, like, how is this determined? Is it a secret poll? Is there “fear for safety” parking permits? I don’t know how you’d come up with these numbers or avoid having people who “fear for their safety” who just prefer to drive.

What will incentivize anyone to make public transit and biking infrastructure better if parking is convenient and cheap?

Love those dragons. If anyone ever develops that parking lot, they should be required to keep the dragons front and center.

I think it’s “permanent housing best but short term rentals better than a parking lot.”
I mean, that’s how I feel. What I prefer isn’t always what I get but this is an improvement.

Very hard to believe it was just a polite request to change the station here. I’m sure something is being left out. Entitlement vibes.

That’s a bummer you missed it.
I think part of my thinking was that I kind of hate navigating concerts that go as planned so if it was a shit show it would be compounded annoyance.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. I was considering buying tickets to a tour of hers a few years back but when I read about people’s experiences, it just sounded like a headache.

Your LPT is the one. I don’t understand how people even end up waiting for people they pick up in these days of online flight tracking and cell phones. The person I’m picking up can wait for me if the timing isn’t perfect.

Yeah, uh, I wouldn’t really be worried if there had been cameras since I didn’t riot in the street and commit property damage in my 20s, personally…

The homes in that area are typically between 500k to 700k these days I believe but generally you’re right. I wasn’t thinking about people who bought long ago, inherited, or just stretched themselves thin with house budget. And good old inflation.

Honestly surprising to me but good to hear. That’s the way forward but I don’t blame people who take an individualistic approach for their children either.
I’m honestly glad I don’t want kids because navigating all these issues seems so tough.

People in Grad Hospital probably have the money for private school. If I had a kid and could avoid the public schools, I would definitely not leave.

Don’t have much to add since I’m no parent and have no plans to be, but I do notice that area seems to have a lot of happy families when I’m passing through.

Ah, I love the Spring Garden bridge from West to CC where your right hand bike lane suddenly becomes a left hand bike lane at the final light.

They did say “killed or injured” though. What is the car injury rate for 2021?

I think they’re fine for now since Chinatown still has tons of parking.
But I think they should also consider how cheap parking in lots, especially surface lots, is a waste of valuable space and runs up local rents and the cost of doing business in general, since space is a finite resource.
