General University Area Updates and Rumours

[plam]

I can't imagine anywhere in Kitchener or Waterloo where it would take a 15-minute drive to the nearest bus stop, so I assume Bjays93 is living somewhere in the townships. Which means the issue is not really how our cities are built but where each person chooses to live.

As Dan said, the alternative is I simply have to deal with the crappy UW parking setup, which is fine. The point of my initial comment wasn’t even complaining about the cost (which does annoy me) my problem has nothing to do with the parking itself per se, but rather going back to the original comment I made, I think surface parking lots are a terrible use of space. Beyond the long distance from parking lots to where you want to get on campus, my real issue is that lots should built underneath various buildings and the current surface lots converted to other uses. Heck, I’d gladly pay more for parking if that were the case. 

No idea how this spiralled into what it did.

It's certainly far more space-efficient to put parking lots in structured parking or underground, but it also costs like $25k per spot in 2015 dollars or something. But yes, I do agree that huge parking lots are a terrible use of space and actually bad for the environment.
