I don't mind the parking, though I think it could be less. At 1Vic, on a smaller lot size, the parking only fronts 2 sides of the podium, whereas here on a bigger lot size, it fronts 3. At the42, they have one floor of underground parking (and if you look at the building, they actually raised the first floor to the westernmost elevation to make this underground even more elevated), and they said that this single underground level was under the water table with quite a bit of work needed to keep it dry. It would flood, and they even had a chamber to fill with water during storms, underneath the ramp off of Peppler. So to have the same concerns about water, you could go down one level, plus howevermany levels of elevation exist between the two sites, with 70 King being noticeably higher than 42 Bridgeport.
None of that should preclude the consideration of active uses on either of Regina or Bridgeport.
