St. Jacobs Market rebuild

[plam]

After reading "the high cost of free parking" I started thinking a lot about charging (minimal amounts) for parking, but I agree, it just doesn't make sense here.  Particularly after the tragedy of the market burning down, lets not deter people from visiting.

The Ottawa parking minimum plan that I think mboos posted to Twitter (they are probably going to propose getting rid of them) looks like it'll propose eliminating them only for central areas and places near transit. So it would not apply to, for instance, St. Jacob's.

I wouldn't be against charging for parking at shopping centers, but that never happens and it's private land.
