Finally, something at Trim Station other than a parking lot.

Why not just make a proper city-owned street out of the parking access to the "business park"?

...so a parking lot with a building in the middle of it.

Half those buildings are directly against the street. Only that car dealership is in the middle of a lot.

Considering this is literally at the fringe of the city, it's not bad. And it's certainly better than literally nothing.

It's not going to be on the fringe forever. Not with the La Cité campus across the Queensway from it, and other developments springing up around it.
