I know that it's just a rendering, but it would be great if they could eliminate that lane and revert to a more urban configuration.

That turn lane is used by delivery trucks for the Metro and the Home Hardware. As far as I know, that's been the lest harmful way of setting up that intersection since Isabella Street angles in such a way that it creates too sharp an angle for trucks.
As for the building, it should be required to have retail at grade and they should be talking to the parts store to move them in the new building, and pay them for a temporary space during construction.
