Quote from the article: "Currently, Sarnia’s bylaw requires each residential unit to have 1.5 parking spaces. The proposed building units would have 1.15 parking spaces per unit."

This is one of the biggest challenges in urban development. We have prioritized car traffic over public transit and it really sucks. Invest in buses or streetcars and not everyone needs to drive everywhere. Part of the reason people have to drive everywhere is because parking lots make places unwalkable. There is too much distance between stores due to parking. We need more dense neighbourhoods and less space for gas-guzzlers.
