From the Niagara Falls Review:
More off-site parking will mean less of an impact on the Niagara escarpment, say developers of a five-star hotel that will be built into the moraine near Robinson Street.
City council gave Canadian Niagara Hotels permission to provide 71.5 per cent of the parking for its planned Westin hotel in a lot between Stanley and Allendale avenues instead of in a lot immediately attached to the hotel. It means 235 spaces will be three blocks from the hotel while 94 will be in an underground lot on the premises.
The company, which also owns the Brock Plaza and Sheraton-on-the-Falls hotels, plans to build the $130-million Westin Fallsview at the east end of Robinson Street at the top of the moraine, between the Skylon Tower and Jolley Cut path.
