There is no rear access and you can't park on the ION tracks. The only other option for these restaurants is to block one lane of traffic on Duke Street while they bring in supplies. I don't know how they can get around these obstacles.
I think around the corner on Queen St N is viable; alternatively, they can truck in food after hours, and potentially park on the rail or simply on Duke. I know on King St, DTK, with Pizza Pizza, they delivery is usually 4 in the morning, and the wine shop is around 5:30 am. RBC 1 am (Ontario St) and Scotia Bank is usually 4 am, and CIBC is closer to 6 am.
There are ways, obviously places like Toronto manage, and the traffic and population there is crazy.
There's literally no reason not to park on Duke St even during the day. It isn't so busy as to make this impossible, and they do this on plenty of other streets.
Both side streets are also an option as mentioned.
People (including both businesses involved, and delivery companies) seem to think this is a much bigger obstacle than it is.
