The architects plan to run the PATH straight north from the Sheraton Centre, crossing first through the half of the parking garage owned by the Toronto Parking Authority. To do so, they will move 12 disabled parking spots (each of which takes up about the space of two standard car slots) to a different part of the garage. They will then knock a hole in a garage wall to continue the PATH straight north to City Hall. This will eliminate 18 parking spots currently allocated to city staff.
"Yes, there is a net decrease in parking spots, which is good for the world," said Mr. Pommer, who personally prefers to walk or ride a bicycle. His plan calls for encouraging bicycle use, with new bicycle parking in this garage, complete with underground showers for cyclists.
