In Victoria, there is an interesting situation happening where people have been complaining for years about parking prices downtown and so the city implemented a situation where they increase parking rates for on street parking if there is a parkade nearby and dropped rates for street parking if no parkade is close by – they also dropped rates in parkades. In Greater Victoria we have many municipalities that are all vying for commerce and have no control over building malls with plenty of parking etc. there have been landuse planning efforts by some municipalities but not all, creating a situation where more green muni’s cant make great strides in eliminating car use without greatly impacting their internal commerce in significant ways. Generally I think landuse planning and reduced parking opportunities would be the only options that would work but only if there was consistent transit options for key hubs.
