The Aud

[panamaniac]

The parking lot at 44 Gaukel is already a city lot, so using it for accessible and tour parking shouldn't be an issue. I actually think the city owns the building, and it's just leased to the Accelerator Centre.

Comparing with the London image above, that polygon includes the public square and the surface parking. The surface parking can be the city lot at 44 Gaukel, the public square can be the closed Gaukel St, and that leaves the arena itself as fitting nicely on the bus terminal site.

As for parking for city employees, somehow every other city employee that works downtown manages. Including those that work late. GRT does run past 1am on major routes since the launch of ION. Route 8, for example, has its last departure from downtown at 1:23am on weekdays, and makes a loop that goes past 2am. I think the fact that service was extended significantly later as a part of the redesign went largely unnoticed by those that don't use transit.

Surely destined for redevelopment, no?  Although the block it sits in might better accomodate a new arena than the former transit site ...
