This is like a 5 minute walk to the station, there are bus routes on wellington parkdale, scott and holland, I don't know how much more TOD it needs to be.
Most of the traffic that hits parkdale are quebec drivers and not local traffic. In my opinion island parkway should be getting an upgrade to handle the traffic problem on parkdale. There are lot's of proposals coming to this area and most of them are bigger than this building, hence why I don't think this particular proposal will cause major traffic issues.
But yes I agree if they want to limit the traffic having a small amount of parking access is a good option.
