From Niagara This Week:
More off-site parking will mean less impact to a sensitive area of the escarpment overlooking the falls when a new, 26-storey hotel is built on the brink of Queen Victoria Park, proponents say.
Despite planning staff calling for no off-site parking for the project, council gave its blessing Monday night to allow more than 70 per cent of the parking for the 518-room Westin Hotel proposed for Robinson Street near the Skylon Tower in a lot on Stanley Avenue.
