Should we put a parking garage under Occidental Square Park?

That’s what developer Urban Visions’s CEO, Greg Smith is proposing (on DJC – subscription only), as we are going to lose more and more parking spots due to viaduct construction and changes:

Urban Visions is studying the parking idea with the team that’s working on its development project, 200 Occidental. The concept so far is to build between 120 and 200 stalls of short-term parking under the tree-lined park at Occidental Avenue South and South Main Street.

Mature trees could be saved, Smith said, “and you could put the exact park back down.”

Smith states in the article, “I’m sure it will be controversial,” to which I have to reply: what?? a new idea in Pioneer Square controversial? That never happens around here…
