There will soon be no more free two-hour parking in Vancouver's West End. 😡😡😡WTF @CityofVancouver are you turning 2hr free parking in the westend into PayParking? pic.twitter.com/n5n3HyA6sT — @GregbarnabyLon LaClaire, Director of Transportation for the city of Vancouver, said paying to park is actually a good thing for drivers, because it's going to free up parking spaces. LaClaire says parking in the West End will cost one dollar an hour to start, but that will be reassessed next spring. He said the city is also looking to charge for what is now free parking in the Olympic Village and on Great Northern Way near Emily Carr University.
