Dear editor:

I’m probably in the minority, but having seen the town’s plan for what parking would look like on the old hospital site, I’m in favour of it.

Isn’t a lack of parking (and associated revenue) one of the main roadblocks to having permanent patios on Queen Street?

Who can doubt that we need more parking? And if it keeps the facade of the old hospital, it wouldn’t be an eyesore.

Isn’t this an opportunity to think big(ger) for NOTL? Imagine part of Queen Street as a pedestrian-only street, with broad sidewalks and a beautiful tree-line median.

If that’s what we could get by using the old hospital building for parking, then count me enthusiastic.
