Go big, do it right. 4 to 5 levels of parking.
What parking problem in DTK? Both Kitchener and Waterloo did studies before the pandemic showing that even the busiest of the lots were never more than 70% full at the peak times of mid-afternoon for commercial. The further away from the immediate core the lot was, the lower that peak percentage was.
Given that so many office jobs are still working from home and that the churches and other places that used to rent out spaces have lost a bunch of revenue from doing that due to lowered demand, I would think that the peak levels are even lower now than before.

You are arguing the wrong person. I spend a lot of time and money supporting downtown.
