Yah I dunno. Agree would be nice to see some thinking outside the box. We have these things called parkades and underground parking. Even the Real Canadian Superstore in Guildford was able to build 90% of its parking under the building itself maximizing land use and minimizing ground parking.
Yes there are power lines but not for the whole site and they could do surface in those areas but the rest smarter. Just look at the Downtown Vancouver location which still has 700 car spaces but all built compressed under mixed use dense development so you're accommodating the 99% of Costco patrons that drive yet fitting into one of the densest areas in the country.
I agree it is kinda ridiculous.
My guess is there is just no desire to push and quite frankly nobody cares about efficient land use out in South Surrey. By the time it becomes an issue out there land wise, we'll all be long dead. Also the design doesn't impact car use because nobody walks to Costco anywhere, even the one downtown I think has like 92% of visitors by car.
