Nobody "happens" to live somewhere- they make residential choices, and part of the choice involves the transportation options available. Infrastructure funds should (in part) be spent making the right and efficient choices easier.
The lot at the Via station isn't going to accommodate the commuter traffic generated by four trains (it's also oversubscribed because it's cheap). But we're about to build a new transit hub- it should have parking for people who choose to drive to the train or bus. As jwilliamson pointed out, you can build a fair amount of parking for $77,000,000...without slowing down the service between Kitchener and Guelph.
