Last month a petition was presented to Auckland Council in a plea to stop the sale of the Downtown Carpark on Fanshawe and Lower Hobson Street.
The building has more than 1900 spaces and petitioners say it is relied on for convenient and reasonably priced parking for access to the Auckland Civic Centre.
As of this afternoon they've gathered 8386 signatures.
Yesterday it was revealed the sale was likely to proceed, with the council saying backing out would undermine the council's reputation in the development sector.
