'Ridiculous': 14 levels of underground parking in proposed 80-storey Burnaby tower draw concerns
www.burnabynow.com
As Burnaby approves taller and taller condo towers, the parking gets deeper and deeper. “It’ll take 10 minutes just for somebody to park their car,” said a city councillor.

See final paragraph - set to be the tallest building in Western Canada. The article focuses on the 14 stories of underground parking that will be included, which does seem excessive given that the SkyTrain is literally across the street.

    One Evo can replace a fair number of parked cars…

    A rep from Evo told me once that their data suggests each Evo takes 7 privately owned cars off the road. (I know that’s worded badly and yes I’ve seen the way some people drive Evos…)

      That’s pretty crazy. There’s an Evo right outside of my apartment and sometimes it’s better to take the Evo than my own car just to avoid parking and dodging traffic on the way back.

        I know right? Sure, the Evo concept is not a solution to every traffic/vehicle related problem but there are so many use cases where it’s hellishly handy. I’ve definitely done the same - an Evo into town and no worries about parking… lock and WALK AWAY :)
