the PUM proposes a reduced maximum parking ratio of 0.5 units per 100 m² for commercial spaces, and Cominar thinks this is bad and wants to double it to 1… which shows how much of an outdated view they still have. They’re literally train station, and majority, if not ALL people that use the businesses there are traveling by public transit, not parking in the Belmont Garage. I think Cominar is pushing this because they know they can make easy money off a parking garage, but it destroys the urban environment for anyone around the station.
Also here is a cool plan showing the levels under Gare Centrale
