The city has formally reversed the decision to implement daily parking charges at transit lots. We are shifting our focus to monitoring the upcoming budget review to ensure this revenue stream is not reintroduced through other means.

The current growth of this petition has caught the attention of local media outlets and I am finalizing an interview request regarding our specific objections to the Park and Ride fees. Formal correspondence is also being drafted for delivery to the Mayor's office to ensure these concerns are part of the upcoming council review.

Nenshi and the whole council need a reality check. we are struggling enough as it is.
Already paying enough for monthly passes. This is just another cash grab by the city.
$60 extra a month is a lot for some of us. Not everyone is rich. Stop taxing us to death.
Ridiculous. My commute is long enough and now it costs more just to get to work. Calgary transit is a joke.
wow. just wow. they really want us to stop taking the train? keep it up and see how many people start driving instead.

Parking used to be free for a reason. This is pure greed.
