This effectively is giving people the finger who want to take advantage of park and ride facilities.
I am just trying to understand the motivation behind these moves. I have seen people counting foot traffic there before so it isn't as if the city doesn't know of the demand. Now, if you are not at the station at 6:30 am you are not getting a spot.
What is the city doing to encourage more people to take the train by making parking eaiser?
Thanks

The problem is that you can have unlimited parking at the end of the line and it will fill up and then be under utilized after the next station gets built. So there needs to be balance. The real solution was killed by Nenshi after he got elected. Charge market value for parking. Price the lot such that it fills up at 8 instead of 6:30.
It was a glorious few months when I paid for parking at somerset.
