Are the parkades in this area even full? Park Lane has a pretty large one and there's a lot of underground parking in maybe a half a dozen buildings. On-street parking is hard to find but that's something that just does not exist in sufficient quantities once an area hits a certain level of density. Spring Garden Road is busy enough that nobody should expect it to be like a small town where you just drive up and park wherever you feel like.

If there really is a serious lack of parking there the solution is to include parking structures on the Clyde Street lots.

It looks like this building does have two blank walls facing Spring Garden Road, but those are in the interior of the block. I don't imagine that the little Atlantic Photo Supply building, etc. are going to be there forever - they should and probably will be torn down and replaced with something a couple of storeys taller that will cover up the buildings in behind.
