Vancouver’s West End urged to embrace parking sharing

By Lee on March 14, 2017

Tuesday, March 14, 2017 | By Lindsay Cashin

CBC featured a UBC study that examines how renting out residential parking spots in the West End can help with Vancouver’s parking shortage.

Professor Alex Bigazzi supervised the research which found that there are about 3,700 empty parking spaces, mostly underneath West End apartment towers.

Similar stories appeared on Global, in the Vancouver Sun and The Province.

Prof. Bigazzi also spoke with CKNW’s Jill Bennett Show about the study.
