If this is really about parking, Bob needs to step back and get a grip on how the majority of mountain/suburban Hamiltonians feel about paid parking. Most believe they have a Constitutional right to park for free; anywhere, all the time.

As an example witness the recent It's Your Festival at Gage Park. Rather than pay to park at Gage Park many went and parked illegally in the surrounding neighbourhood and howled with outrage when they were ticketed. These same people believe that free parking would be some kind of panacea to Downtown renewal, when nothing could be further from the truth. Sprawl is what's killing this City's core.

If this stadium is built at the EM location you're dreaming in technicolour if you believe Hamiltonians are going to gladly pay for the convenience to park in your "driveway".
