'When asked about the massive taxpayer-funded parkade, Therme's CEO said his firm expects only 10% of his luxury spa customers to arrive by private vehicle.'
So, the other 90% will arrive by #Toronto public transit?
SERIOUSLY??
@gemelliz I hesitate to mention that Ontario Place is one of the least accessible places in all of Toronto by public transit. You can't get there from here.
@gemelliz Have they actually tried the transit option? Ontario Place is a loooong walk from transit for a lot of people. And plenty of others will come by taxi etc., which becomes a traffic issue.
@sfysh@gemelliz Is it really that far though? I have fond memories as a kid of taking the GO train to visit Ontario Place: getting off at Exhibition Stadium and walking over the bridge. It’s not farther than, for example, the walk across the Yorkdale Mall parking lot on a busy day. Building a giant underwater parking garage seems like an atrocious use of taxpayer funds.
@PapyrusBrigade@sfysh
"atrocious use of taxpayer funds" ..and an environmentally atrocious idea to carve an underground parkade into the shoreline of Lake #Ontario. #Therme CEO also referenced "the new Ontario Place subway stop" - and clearly stated that the controversial garage was "not part of the Therme project" and questions should be directed to Infrastructure Minister, MPP Surma.
Perhaps Therme is figuring out that #DougFord is a big talker & 'over-promises', but doesn't deliver.
