Amtrak vs. The Railway Express Building

I'm pretty sure you all know the Railway Express Building. It's that great old Art Deco structure between Calvert and St. Paul Streets right above or more accurately between the Amtrak line and the JFX/I-83. Its western side is almost directly across from the St. Paul Street entrance to Penn Station. It's a great building that has, you guessed it, been converted into apartments and retail. 

When I heard there was going to be 30 residential units and perhaps 20 commercial spaces my first thought was, where is everyone going to park? I knew residents would get some parking spaces, but what about their guests? There is no mention of parking in this article from March. However, "below-building parking deck" was mentioned this past April in this article.

It seems, now that the condos are built, there is a controversy over said "below-building parking". Check out this story from the Maryland Daily Record website.
