Downtown Kitchener Fire Station | 19 fl | Proposed

We have a car ... and when we lived in the suburbs/exurbs we had two (and three at one point), as both of us were driving to different locations for work.

Now, living in DTK, our singular vehicle gets driven a few times a week. We really could do without one if it were not for the family medical appointments that would be quite challenging without a car. There is a Communauto lot near us that almost always has a car or two available, and an occasional taxi/uber (for the times when walking or bicycle is not sufficient) really is not expensive when you compare it to the cost of car ownership. Ongoing transit and active transportation improvements make being carless even easier.
