Irving wants more parking spaces uptown

Irving and the city are talking about parking.  CBC reports the company wants more spaces near its uptown head office, as it’s growing and some employees have a long walk from their space to work.  Parking in Saint John has become more of an issue after a crackdown on unregistered lots, and construction in others.
