'take off' is the definition.

'parking on narrow street' is the wordplay.
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'narrow street' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'lane'='PLANE'

'is bound to' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
