Well, yes. Isn't that what planning is all about? To give one example, some years back 4 developers simultaneously proposed to build 4 apartment towers in the east campus area. Because the proposals all had to come through the City planning process, the City slowed things down so that there was not too much of that particular commodity put on the market at the same time. Otherwise we may have had vacant rooms and development proposals that did poorly financially.
My example is a zoning case with a private developer. In this case, a public investment is being discussed. Its genesis clearly was part of the intercity rail station proposal. So it is not unreasonable to question the merits of this proposal at this time. And sure, I'm all for the City getting out of the parking business, or at least phasing it out over time.

OK, now I could certainly argue that the City should get out of the public car parking game, but most people still accept that. > > Robbie Webber _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
