The so called anti-plexers are searching for all the ammo they can find to shoot this down. Their attempts are getting pathetic.

Sorry this building meets code because code was changed for this building when it comes to parking!

It is galling that a facility meant to be used by all people in Moose Jaw has only 16 wheelchair accessible seats yet 225 seats in private boxes. The Fab 5 should be ashamed.

WE ALL GOT TOOK, LOL NICE BUILDINGS ON THE CORNERS?? 72 PARKING SPOTS?? IS THAT RIGHT?? I LIKE THE DESIGN BUT YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT WITH ALL THOSE CRAPPY BUILDINGS THERE.

The 16 Handicapped spots inside the Multiplex is more than enough. There won't be any parking outside for regular patrons let alone Handicapped. The Seventy two spots will be used by the Multiplex Staff, Warriors Executive, Luxury Box Owners, Press, Ambulance, Team Busses, Game Officials etc. The rest of us will have to walk from home, take the Sagel-Hendry Express (She said City Busses will run on Event Nights) or park on the Minute Muffler lot. Problem solved. Having 4500 fans to a Warrior Game except on Opening Night is a pipe dream anyway so we are only talking about 2000 people needing parking anyway.
The $10M under budget is just the Mayor's way of having enough money to buy the rest of the needed land surrounding the Multiplex as should have been done and included in the plans and budget presented last night. Once again an attempt to fool the people of Moose Jaw.

It is not shameful if it is built within the code...are you saying you want to spend more $$ to build it more than what the code requires. The fact is 16 is required by code....nothing more to say.

Wow Humberto.....Just curious, how many wheelchair accessible seats did you put into the last project yoou designed? Stick to the things you know about and leave the design to the experts...

And who do the design team think is going to drive out to the soccer dome to use the walking track? For safety's sake this should have been left in the arena. Why is it we cater to the squeeky wheels and then throw common sense to the winds. Other rinks include walking tracks and ours should have also. Seniors will not access the soccer dome.Way to go MooseJaw.

another uneducated comment^^^^ The design is as per building codes your comment is baseless.

Humberto D: - September 18th, 2009 at 15:58:27

Uneducated? I stated a fact. And because you have nothing to counter said fact, you make a personal attack. 16 seats out of 4000+ is shameful. Building code or not.

As to being uneducated --- Nice try. The tsatement I made was true.

Next thing is you will tell me that 72 parking spots for a facility of this size is what is in the city's parking bylaw. Sorry. No cigar. they totally went against the city's own zoning rules on the parking.
