There is no shortage of parking in that area of downtown....it is certainly not an issue holding back residential development like it is in the exchange.

I don't disagree with you reg: the Exchange and the parking problems that are now coming to a head. Of course the Exchange area is in dire need of a solution.
Although though less palatable, a 20+ story Condo tower does need parking facilities?
Half of the funds were alloted to Glass and the other to James St. There were no developers willing to build a mixed use facility on James St. But I digress. Yes the exchange needs solutions but even though there is some parking in the area of the the Glass House project, It too needed a parkade, with stantec, resturants, and a resedential component.
