Good. As I've said before (and ol' Brucy KPMB agrees), we should be constructing fewer parking spaces in new structures, not more. In place of such facilities, we should integrate car-sharing programs and bicycle storage facilities.

Then again everyone knows that you need a car to get from Spadina and Front to Queen and University so perhaps this is a redundant suggestion.
 
A number of newer projects will have fewer parking spots than units. Also, some developers are restricting parking availability to larger/more expensive units. If you buy a one bedroom, you will have to try and purchase a spot off one of your neighbours.

I wonder how long it will be until the arrival of a smaller, PATH-linked project that has little or no parking?

One can presume that the city has changed its attitude towards demanding a minimum number of parking spaces.

But is it really so little? It may not be deep but it's certainly covers alot of area. From what I see, that floorplate should easily hold 240 cars, plus basement areas, plus lockers and bicycle storage
 
240 cars isn't a lot if you compare to the number of units for 4 towers. (2 high rise, 2 low rise).
 
This is one mega slab Current ('building' to the right of Luna). I had no idea Cityplace was building such monstrocities.

Yea just in case you can't tell that's two buildings your looking at : - )
That's a bad pic.
 
The city really should have done something when it became evident that Luna would be clad in the same black panels as the other buildings. I really like that West One and N1 were done in black. The joke got a little old with Montage and it's downright depressing to see yet another structure receive this treatment. Just before I left for Europe, I visited the Cityplace sales center for a few pictures (no luck). I was told by a particularly lackluster employee that Parade was their 'luxury' building. Perhaps this means they'll spring for some new cladding.

...or we can just hope that RONA puts different color on sale...
