MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS 384 Tache parking lot across the street from the St. Boniface Hospital SURFACE LOTS: A new motion calls for the city to find ways to prevent commercial and industrial buildings from being demolished and resulting in vacant lots or surface parking lots. Coun. Allard said surface lots work against several city goals, since they take up space that would otherwise be used for buildings that add density and raise tax revenue, while also making it more convenient for Winnipeggers to take single-passenger vehicle trips that are bad for the environment. see JOYANNE story 210126 - Tuesday, January 26, 2021.
