Downtown Kitchener Fire Station | 19 fl | Proposed

With ZERO parking, that means that those cars will be parking on nearby surface streets that have a 3 hour maximum daytime limit (but 1 hour on Cameron, and 2 on Duke). Sure, they can park overnight but the residents will spend an inordinate amount of time jockeying their cars.

It’s possible that many will end up subletting spots across the street, but not sure how long Drewlo will put up with that.

Bottom line, chaos is coming!

Others have pointed out that there are already multiple parking options, but I’ll add that it’s weird to assume that no entrepreneur will step forward to supply something valuable like parking. Assuming it actually is economical, meaning it can be provided for less than the price people are willing to pay for it, there should be businesses setting up parking garages and renting space in them.
