First day and City Counsel is already backtracking: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Ca...187/story.html

Parking at transit park and ride lots on weekends and evenings could once again be free, after council approved looking at a change to its new rates.

The vote, just hours after the new $3 parking fee went into effect at three lots this morning, would leave in place the weekday charges.
I found this laughable:

City staff will come back to council in early April with a report looking at how the $1.5 million — the estimate of what free weekend and evening parking would cost Calgary Transit in revenue — could be made up in its budget.
You mean the "Park and Ride Maintenance/Security Budget", right?!? Glad they have to "make up" for this in the budget - already spending cash they don't even have yet...
