Current Parking:
- lot on 600 block Fisgard
- City owned parkade 600 Fisgard
- lot between Herald and Fisgard in the 500 block.
- lot on the old Clicks Parking.
- lot on the corner of Store and Herald.
- gravel lots Store and Chatham
- lot next to Janion building.
I mean if every neighbourhood needed this much off street parking then Victoria would look like Winnipeg.

I'm not a fan of cars. I won't own one myself. But I can sure feel for people who are moving their cars between parking meters while this big empty space sits idle.

When I first moved here I was wondering why all these people trickled out of St. Ann's Academy.. and moved their cars every couple of hours..
I guess it's the same everywhere..
Perhaps someone has a link to the UTNE Reader article of way back when "The Cost Of Free Parking"..

Of course, the best way would be to have a decent public transit system both within downtown and to downtown, as well as having the residential stock in and around downtown being employed within a few blocks of their neighbourhood. But in that awkward time where we have neither, parking is a problem for people working down there.

I'm from Ottawa. Parking is a lot worse and yet people here speak about it as if it's more dire than people did when I lived in Ottawa.

Well, one woman I am working with has been on a waiting list for a paid parking spot for over a year now. When one finally came up for $120 dollars a month she was delighted! Literally leaping for joy hehe. Maybe what it is, is that we dont have enough of the right kind of parking. I agree, if all you want is to park your car for a couple of hours, you are fine, you can generally find a spot. But if you need to leave your car all day or all night, that's when it seems to get harder to find the spots.
.
That's between 4 to 6 dollars a day assuming a 20 day work month or 30 day month.. That's one lattee a day.. plus a muffin?
You won't convince people to take transit if parking is that cheap..

I'm so glad the original plan for a huge parkade on the Buckerfield's site never went through. Sometimes Victoria's procrastination pays off.
