Residential parking permit requirements could be expanded to all residential streets, based on a new proposal by City of Vancouver staff.

 
This recommendation that will be presented to city council next week is amongst a list of major strategies that are part of the city staff’s new proposed Climate Emergency Action Plan (CEAP).

“Today, nearly one third of space on city streets is dedicated to parking. This sizeable portion of street space is only available for use by households with vehicles. For the more than one quarter of households in Vancouver that do not have a vehicle, it is providing little value,” reads a city staff report. WHAT ABOUT WHEN OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY VISIT?! IS THIS NOT A VALUE TO THOSE WHO DON'T OWN VEHICLES?

(I copy and pasted most of this from Daily Hive)

If we permit everywhere it will be such a headache! So many streets don't require this and I think they just want our money... Let's stop them!
