Surface @#%&*^@#(*&@%#R(&*%@&# parking? Pathetic. Urban design, Edmonton-style?
If the price to pay for what is one of the best products in terms of residential development in Edmonton in years is a handful of surface parking stalls, that allow them to deliver high quality finishes and a great public realm instead of sinking millions in underground parking, I'll gladly pay it.
 
Is the expectation from now on that every new development shouldn’t have some parking stalls? If so, that’s simply not realistic.
Let me introduce you to the novel concept of underground parking. Am I really having to explain this ?!?!?!?!?
 
I should have taken a pic or two, but there is an underground parkade entrance at the Lewis Block.

Apparently I underestimated this city's typical obsession with parking. :rolleyes:
 
Above ground parking is usually convenience parking for visitors, movers, etc.
I was about to say this. My condo has underground parking/storage for owners and ground level parking for visitors. Keeps the owner parking more secure, I don't want any of my neighbours random ass guests scoping out my parking stall/storage locker. But friends regularly appreciate not having to walk two blocks to the nearest street parking when visiting. Having most car storage underground but a little bit above ground is the ideal mix for these affordable 4-6 story tall buildings.

My dude... The costs of adding UG parking are substantial and could affect the whole feasibility of a project (or impact lease rates and reduce affordability). A few above ground parking stalls (which seems to be the case) for movers, visitors, etc are also not the end of the world.
