Nine experts, brought in to assess the city's downtown parking infrastructure and recommend ways to improve it, said many parkades and surface lots are not only "not in keeping with good architectural design," but discourage nearby development rather than act as a catalyst for it.
We don't do a gig that's a stand-alone garage," he said, and Winnipeg also needs to take that approach.
Panel member Jim Yanchula, manager of urban design and community development for the City of Windsor, said parkades should add to the architectural appeal of the downtown, not detract from it like many of Winnipeg's parkades do with their "utilitarian" design, including The Bay's downtown parkade, one of several examples singled out for criticism by the experts.

Noise exposure has been the focus of research attention for nearly 40 years, since the classic work by Glass and Singer (1972). Several studies have documented adverse effects of chronic noise exposure on children, including disrupted reading acquisition (Bronzaft & McCarthy, 1975; Evans & Maxwell, 1997), memory impairment (Hygge, Evans, & Bullinger, 2002), and physiological stress responses (Evans, Hygge, & Bullinger, 1995). Fortunately, these effects appear to be reversible: The introduction of noise attenuation strategies resolved reading problems in elementary school children (Bronzaft, 1981), and the end of chronic noise exposure (because of the closing of a nearby airport) reversed the adverse effects on memory (Hygge et al., 2002). There is mounting evidence that ...
