That's the first vaguely legitimate issue I've seen raised about the BRT. Not sure how much of a big deal it is, though. Southcentre has security guards who ticket cars that park there all day to use the LRT station. I don't see why Glenmore Landing couldn't do the same. And how many people are going to drive to Glenmore Landing and then hop on the bus anyway? If you're taking the bus to Mount Royal University it's because you don't have a car in the first place.
And really, the best solution for the parking issue at Glenmore Landing is for shoppers who live within a few blocks (which has to be most) to get off their lazy asses and walk.

Which is why we should shunt people out into rural communities when they become old and anti-social. Want to live in splendid isolation without concerning yourself with other people? Move to an acreage.
