A example on one I am talking about is the structure accross from the CPR Water Front Station where all those cars are parked. I would love to see that structure demolished and in its place built a office building and with retail on the ground floor. Theres another one I think in China town and in the area of between West Georgia/Seymour/Dunsmuir/Richard Streets respectively. I think if we are going to have them only have then under ground and use any available verticle above the ground space for human use.

above ground parking structures - do you mean parkades - surely they are more efficient land use.
