      Why build up or down when you can build out!

      As a European I’m always baffled by this. In my home city you can find underground garages everywhere downtown: under office buildings, malls, even some parks

        But those cost money. Much easier to just bulldoze some greenery.

        DND carling campus is quite far from downtown, like around 17km, so I guess they don’t give a fuck about density?

    The solution, as always, is not parking, biking or transit. It’s to tell the public servants to work from home.

    Do I see it correctly that Ottawa is building a light rail line, which is supposed to end about 1km to the south of this and kind of in the middle of nowhere?
