Parking Problems in Calgary

In my opinion, there is a big problem with parking in Calgary. First of all, parking in Calgary is very expensive. According to http://www.cbs.ca/, calgary has the most expensive parking in Canada. In the last year Calgary passed Toronto as the priciest place to buy a parking ticket in the downtown business area. For example, a typical parking spot in downtown Calgary costs $375 per month, but a similar place in Toronto is arround $300 each month. Also, according to internet survey, people prefer taking the train when they go to downtown because of the expensive parking and problems to find a parking spot there especially on weekdays. In addition, University of Calgary doesn't have any problem with parking places, but the prices for these spots are really high, so most students prefer taking the train when they go to university. For example, the parking place across the EDC building costs $10 per day, so not many students can pay for it. In conclusion, I think the government should decreace the cost of parking at least in the University of Calgary.
