Did anyone hear that MEC's new store's big selling point will be free parking? I think it's unconscionable for a so-called "green" store who built their newest location in an urban area of a city working to be less car dependent to base their main pitch around free parking. McKeen or someone from City Transportation should call MEC and give them a slap on the wrist.

Traversing the Brewery District on foot or by car is already a dangerous and noisy nightmare and that surface parking lot they built should be considered a sin against God. Maybe the BD could force all drivers to park in their shiny new parkade (which is currently barely used) and convert that surface lot into a pleasant plaza for residents, shoppers, and staff.
