I know its not Impark but, as a student during the last half of my degree, I parked without paying over 80% of the time in the UofC lots, got caught 2 times for a grand total of about $90 in fines IIRC. Its not like I parked every day, but it saved me a ton of money over those 3 years.

I consider it enough of a grey area to park in a spot that would otherwise be unused (I know most Impark lots downtown this is not the case) that I am ok with doing it from time to time, but I would be paying the tickets that were given to me, as it is the risk I took parking there.

At the university, the risk to reward ratio given the parking cost and enforcement levels of the lots I used, meant that I was comfortable parking for an hour a lot more often than I would be at some place like Impark for 8 hours while I am at work, potentially burning a place that I can park.
