Quite disappointing to see the increase of parking spaces. I recognize car ownership is quite high in nearby communities like The Beaches and Birch Cliff, but an expanded commuter lot this deep into the city seems like a poor allocation of space.

To be 100% clear, this appears to be a "reallocation" of pre-planned underground space from Bicycle Parking to Vehicle Parking, so it doesn't appear that the underground space became any bigger in this iteration.

City just traded Bicycle Parking for Vehicle Parking on a 4.25-to-1 ratio.

Each new individual Vehicle Parking space allocation in their underground area consumed the space for approx. ~4.25 former Bicycle Parking spaces. 🧮
