I'm so upset ALL parties involved couldn't get their acts together. Sounds like another missed opportunity, just like the misfortune for the huge surface lot on Bannatyne behind Ship St that happened a while back.

I'm presuming what Biff is getting at was that in order for a mixed use parkade to work financially it had to go 10 - 20 floors into the air, and that in turn made it way too expensive (and/or risky). Probably doesn't help that there's four or five other highrise residential developments on the table at the moment.
