I'm not sure what the skytrain being there in a literal sense makes as a difference, but the absolute lack of parking at or around the skytrain stop would definitely not help the situation, suggesting that 14 levels may be the best way of achieving 2400 parking spots. Tall buildings hold a lot of people.
But what do your engineering numbers say?
They could introduce a car-share service instead of being reliant on personal car ownership.
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 :)
