This improved use
of space could translate into much smaller
parking lot footprints, provided the
total number of cars that need to
park in them remains constant.
Instead
of counting only the change in
parking spaces on the boulevard De Maisonneuve itself, a measure that might have led to headlines and perceptions that «half
of the
parking» was being removed, it counted the
total number of auto
parking spaces — public and private, on - street and off — within 200 meters
of the project.
