Which of the following comes closest to how you would approach parking in commercial areas?
Context:
Through its Curbside Management Strategy, which has been in discussion during this council's term, Edmonton employs variable pricing in several parking zones, like downtown, and is rethinking its allocation of curbside space to private motor vehicles. The city also employs open option parking, after striking mandatory parking minimums in the last council's term, meaning businesses can now dedicate the amount of parking they see fit for their operations. Competing uses for space often involve parking. Some businesses north of downtown are concerned that a new dedicated bus lane will erode parking for their customers and hurt their bottom lines.
