A private proposal may not be answer in this case as i know that in the City of Victoria parking revenue exceeds costs and that this revenue is in the Millions of dollars each year. I understand that the Local Government Act permits municipalities to charge developers DDC,s to construct parking facilities and i trust that our City has already adopted a bylaw to allow such charges to be assigned to all the recent and future applicable developments in our municipality.!!!!!!!!

How else can you explain there being four or five stop lights across (and immediately before and after) the Millstream overpass? Five stop lights in half a mile is pretty excessive, and I can't think of anywhere else in Greater Victoria you can find that.

The time to talk about parkades was the time in-between the high-density housing being planned and it being built, not after the fact with upset residents and businesses questioning whether people can park anywhere near their establishments at peak periods.
