Unless I'm way off (which is entirely possible... likely even...) it seems like they may not be using the entire lot. Or what I assume is the entire lot:

I can try to do my traditional blobs in Google Earth tomorrow - I was also wondering what the height looks like from the East End School and the community gardens. If they block the view of the skyline that may also be fodder for push back.

On the one hand I'm disappointed that the 25 Commercial St building isn't happening, on the other hand I don't hate this reuse of the Public Market building, on the third hand I still like the Public Market as a Public Market best and any other use of that space will be a little disappointing...

"Remove Existing Structure and construct parking lot." Blahhh not what we need here
