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.

They’re second-guessing the engineer too? It’s like when I tell my cab driver how to steer or recommend suture style to my doctor.
Agreed. ;-)
The Senakw proposal shows that you don’t really need to develop that much parking and that developers are happy to include less parking when city bylaws permit it.
There’s a lot wrong with the Senakw proposal. But I’m not surprised when developers are told they don’t have to do something that they jumped at the idea. Developers would happily exclude water and power if they only had the opportunity.
The Senate development is funded by the Squamish, designed for the Squamish, and plans to house the Squamish. You’re saying that somehow the developer got more say in the project and proposed things actively against the interests of the Squamish nation… And the Squamish just rolled over and accepted it?
They aren’t “second-guessing the engineer.” Again, no parking analysis has been completed. They’re asking questions that are appropriate to ask.
You don’t feel that councillors asking experts questions about decisions made following their expertise are actually perfect exemplars of second-guessing?
