This is excellent. There are a number of companies in this area and the amount of complaints to HR departments regarding harassment for those that park here is through the roof. It isn't the worst thing to look at in its current state, but it also is covered up really well from the outside, so it allows for people to do what they want inside. Definitely an important improvement to reduce some of the overall shadiness in this small area and will help the area when the Falcon Towers are eventually built.

Hey, doesn't the person who owns the parkade want to build a tower here? or did they just buy it, I wonder...

Why zebras?
We think zebras are beautiful creatures: they are fun, they stand out from the crowd, and on top of it all they are striped just like the lines in a parkade. Come Spring 2020, the Zebras are going to emerge to create an exciting landmark in Downtown and help you find safe and secure parking.

This appears to be serious. And I'm not even sure I hate it.
 
I agree with the sentiment theme -- I like the conversion to retail units on the street -- I like the playfulness and the bold colorization -- I like the zebras on the roof. All in all Zebras are more enlightened choice; Donkeys would have just made Asses of the project developers.
