Vancouver man wants city to regulate parking locations for car share programs

A Vancouver resident wants there to be a city limit to the number of car sharing vehicles that are parked in residential parking spots.

Dan Pressler, who lives in a condominium a block away from the Pacific National Exhibition, said the number of cars being parked in his residential parking lot has increased exponentially in the past few years. He said the biggest increase was during the Arts and crafts Beer Festival which but occurred over the weekend.

The PNE hosts an annual 17-solar day summer off-white, and other events are as well hosted in that specific surface area.

He added that cars during the past weekend had filled the entire lot and were fifty-fifty kept overnight.

In that detail parking lot area, lots are reserved for residents as well as drivers using auto services like Evo and Car2Go, the CBC reported.

"It'south definitely amped up over the last decade," he said, noting that he would similar for the urban center to regulate the overload. He added that the services are good for the environment but in that location needs to be some sort of oversight in terms of parking.

Pressler told the CBC that there are events at least once a month in the area, drawing many vehicles, ultimately forcing him to endeavour and find parking elsewhere. He noted that this has become standard practice for at present and is incredibly frustrating.

The City of Vancouver told the CBC that it supports automobile sharing programs and said that it works with them to find dedicated parking spots.

"In instances where cars bunch together, the Metropolis works with car sharing organizations to provide dedicated on-street space to draw demand away from residential areas," the urban center said.
