Every modern underground parking I've seen (and I've in the North American real estate business for a few decades) has ungated parking just inside the parkade entrance for guests, and then secure-ish gated parking for residents further into the parkade. In most progressive urban centres, zero on-site surface parking is permitted. Further, in some cases planners have been pushing zero guest parking now, and that includes zero underground guest stalls. A decade ago, I owned in a building like that too. People adapt. They find paid parking on the surrounding streets.

Do I honestly have to keep explaining this?

And for the record, I'm not some activist that has a hate-on for cars; I drive an internal combustion vehicle.

Mate, why are you so worked up about this? The parking isn't street facing, there's not a sea of parking and the little there is doesn't detract at all from the overall quality of the building. Edmonton still is a very car-centric city and a move towards car free (and parking free), even in central-ish areas, ain't gonna happen quickly. 10-15 years ago we would've gotten a bunch of surface parking and a very suburban feel to anything built, even towers.
There's no need to go off the rails and fire at everyone here just because we're being reasonable with the expectations and with our assessment of the quality of this product.

They have finished the redo of both parks at either end of the development. Looks like the main project was to lower the previously raised, hill like flora features and replace them with flat grass/trees. Whether that was to reduce maintenance costs or improve sightlines, I don't know.

The mounds made it unique but I did always wonder about sightlines and people feeling unsafe. The new configuration will be fine in 60 years when those trees are fully grown.

Those mounds were also full of weeds and did not look great as the mulch did not stay well on the slopes. This is a much better design and something Claude Cormier should've done in the first place.

Major projects helping to spark a 'dynamic transformation.'

Stadium Yards, from the Rohit Group of Companies, has taken little used land and turned it into a seven-acre development featuring residential, park, and some commercial space that will be home to 1,500 to 2,000 residents. Phases 1 and 2, which includes the recently opened Lewis Block — 229 purpose-built rentals — have created a transit-oriented urban village.

Phase 3, which would complete the project that Rohit describes as a flagship urban infill redevelopment, is tentatively planned to launch in 2028.
 
Land servicing to start in 2026 - so a year for that, with homes ready by 2028.....isn't that what "launch" means? So a year and a bit to build 200 homes....sounds good to me.....what am I missing here?
 
Updates:
1. Lewis Block South is now open
2. The "Keep Edmonton Weird" signage appears to be owned by Rohit or Stadium Yards
3. The park next to Felice is open and appears to be well-used
4. Didn't realize Felice had 2 patios, but both are open on this warm autumn afternoon
5. For those of you who are obsessed with parking, I took pics of the underground parking entrances just for your sake
