Let me preface this by saying that I already know that people are going thru much worse things, but just looking for suggestions or things that the City may be doing that I may not have heard about yet.

I live in the Vetro bldg beside Victoria Park Stampede stn, both our condo and Sasso have all their residents displaced.

I've been unofficially been told there's a very good chance that our parkade won't be ready for estimates ranging from weeks to months. I'm curious, what's a good alternative for us in terms of parking our car? I feel worried that with the Stampede coming around and with parking prices going up it's going to be a huge burden to have to park? And I've already been told, oh that's what your $1,250 displacement fee is for. Well our car was submerged underwater in the parkade and it's only 50% paid off so there's a decent chance our $ will have to go towards paying the difference to the dealership in terms of the write-off value and balance remaining.

Any tips, ideas, suggestions would be helpful! Subsidized parking, extending our area to parking zone C (even temporarily) for street parking would be great but not sure if the City would do the above.

Thanks all!
