Fewer parking spaces are a good thing, they mean fewer cars and less driving.
But we don't need another construction site. They need to slow down with all the disruptive hazards and noise. I also wish they'd make use of existing structures rather than replacing them needlessly with low-quality particle board boxes that all look alike.
Please ACTUALLY WRITE THE CITY - it's easy, one short email. Takes a few minutes. The more of us that write, the more chance we can get them to slow down on this kind of thing.
