I think your total is modest. How about Jackson Square underground, Harbourfront to the northeast, proposed 230 for James GO station, or the existing 100 or so along Strahan (between James and Hughson). All within a comfortable walking distance. Now if you take a look at the East Mountain site and assume you'll need 45 acres of space for 7000 parking spots (150 spots per acre). Given that the building will be at the northern portion of said property and that the property is long and somewhat narrow patrons will still have a 10 minute stroll through a sea of parking to get to the front door. Furthermore even at a optomistic $20 a spot X 7000 spots X 10 home games that $1.4 million in yearly revenue, hardly justifies the $35 million in land, unless of course the taxpayer is on the hook for the $35m and the Ti-Cats get the revenue. "Isn't that what the FUTURE FUND was intended for?"
