I’m not overly concerned about parking. Park right downtown and take a 3 minute LRT ride since your ticket will include transit.
That's not going to happen.
Why not?
The people of Ottawa can be so lame and needy. They want to work 8am-11am (max) at their low stress government jobs (but it must be from home because going to work is a human rights violation) and heaven forbid they can’t park directly in front of the NHL arena they’re attending a few times a year.
These same people then complain that the city is boring and downtown sucks as they spend their weekends watching Netflix in Barrhaven.
You've been to the Ottawa subreddit I take it
There are zoning requirements for the amount of parking in condos, I believe it's between .5 and .7 spots per unit downtown, but that's based on unreliable google searches rather that looking up the specific zoning rules. .And how does this get back to parking? Lets say hypothetically there are 4000 units, 1000 which are affordable housing realistically how many of those will be available for gameday parking? Seeing as an average 15 story building holds about 400 - 500 tenants Each building might have 200 spots. I don't see extra parking by way of residential allotment practical. It would have to come from the commercial ventures and then I don't see the NCC making way for what goes against their mandate of reducing car traffic and fight climate change.

Including transit in a ticket price makes no sense because no one will want to pay for the subsidy.
