I keep hearing on the news that it's to make sure parking is available; what they didn't say was if they did a survey to see how many of the vehicles have out of town plates on them. My guess is a significant percentage of the cars parked there are from out of town.
I'm not sure if I said this earlier in the thread, but they could have done this in 2 parts- $3 per day for parking, and city of Calgary taxpayers can by a yearly pass for $25. Then have parking authority patrol the lots and check for out of town plates using a person's pass. (To avoid people in Okotoks getting a buddy in Calgary to get a pass for them.)

You mean like Saskatchewan?!?
I'm pretty sure the folks in Okotoks have the same plates as the guys in Calgary (unless you want to start pulling plate numbers)
