There never were a lot of parking spots on York near the market and library and now there are exactly none and the traffic is worse. How does this attract anyone new to the core.

There are a lot of spots on York in front of Copps and now parking spots on Park St come right to York, further than before. I was on York last week and looked down the street and was thrilled with all the people walking on both sides of the road and enjoying the nice weather. It felt like a real city street for the first time in my life. The very last thing we need to worry about in Hamilton is where cars will park downtown - York has a massive parkade with dirt cheap rates. Ditto for the underground at Jackson Square. And in case you've never opened Google maps, go check out downtown Hamilton and look at the surface parking. Anyone who says they won't come downtown because of a lack of parking is lying, and if they stay home that's just fine with me.
