Things like charging for parking in either of the markets just irritate patrons for no good reason. For starters one is less likely to take the bus when purchasing a week worth's of groceries to begin with.
The LRT, increased density and urban grocery stores are good ways to make people forego their cars. Higher parking fees in St. Jacobs only enrich the market owner and help no one else.
I agree 100%. There has to be a viable alternative if we want people to forgo driving.
