The City of Charlottetown wants to hear from the public about a proposed redevelopment of a downtown parkade and some of the land around it.

If it goes through, the Queen Parkade would be reinforced. It would also expand onto land owned by the developer, TweelCo Properties.

That expansion would add parking spaces, residential units and commercial space, according to the proposal presented to city council on Jan. 16.

Coun. Norman Beck says it’s the kind of development the city would like to see downtown.

“As everyone is aware, we’re looking to increase density in the downtown core,” Beck said.

“We’re always looking at opportunities to build upon the beautiful downtown that we have here in Charlottetown, and we thought that this was an opportunity.”
