The corner of Eighth and Carnarvon (at the right-hand side of this photo) could see a 44-storey condo tower and hotel project built. This letter writer says the city shouldn't relax parking requirements.Julie MacLellan

Editor:

I’m very concerned about the proposed hotel you write about. You say their plan is to have less parking than legally required.

I think this is a big mistake to allow new builds to badger city hall to lower its standards in amount of parking required.  Parking is always a problem and will get worse.
