Looks like this is replacing just the parking beside the subway in the plaza right now.. which given the location in the plaza, I imagine it doesn't get used too much. The plaza can probably get by with the reduced parking in front of Metro.Is the shopping plaza being redeveloped? What happens to the grocery store?
It would be crazy for the grocery store, in walking distance from the multitude of apartment buildings, to shut down, forcing people to drive further away to do their grocery shopping.
