No need to do so when there are tons surface parking lots left to look at. That's a really dense site you are looking at and asking to demolish. Are you serious? Do you understand the cost?
It is utilized enough that they are using the top level of parking on the roof.
In the Summer and Winter no one wants to park on the roof due to rain, snow or heavy sun.
It looks 90% full. There are more and better opportunities to build on instead of likely 12 above ground layers of a seemingly productive parking tower.
I know its in vogue to hate upon parking decks, and cars in general, massed in new high rises but this deck is not a blight on the community IMO.
If it was replaced it would be replaced by a tower with a similar parking deck on a similar footprint with the addition of the ugly parking podium as a replacement.
Leave parking towers greater than 6 levels alone.
We have enough flat asphalt parking squares before we start trying to demolish this very thick re enforced with thick rebar in a very heavy parking structure.
Look how dense that area is. Would you prefer the above said option instead, with the costly replacement. Are you asking for a 100 story tower with no parking but parking for a thousands of bicycles instead.
Lets get real folks.
Most productive human beings own at least 1.75 cars per small family. A Family of 4 or more will need at least 2 cars even in the city esp if their children are of driving age.
Some of you have your sights set on the wrong blocks IMO.
