There's a little over 250 visible spaces in the current surface lot. So the proposal would basically be about five times that amount of parking. Hopefully they can wrap it in a way that doesn't seem too obtrusive.

Once that's built, it would be really nice if the Apparel Mart could do somesomething to improve their interface with Kinzie from a pedestrian standpoint.
