“…the managing of traffic should never have been given to engineers. They aren’t trained to understand it, in part because they aren’t trained to understand people or cities.” @BrentToderian

Surface parking lots least productive use
of land and harmful to walkable, sociable

Downtown #Nanaimo surface parking lots occupy about 35-40% of available land. If this is the lands highest and best use, returning maximum ROI, we're in trouble.
