该计划的初衷是减少停车场的拥挤问题，并提供停车场的维护成本。

据星期四发表的一份报告显示，所有的公有换乘停车场都在早晨7点就已经满员，并且每年需要近80万元来维护。

报告称，这些问题并没有完美的解决方案，开放收费车位虽然能让政府在维护停车场上花费更少的税金，但也会是公共交通的总价钱更加难以负担，也不会有助于提供停车场所，甚至会导致更多的人在临近的街区停车。然而，政府认为建设更多的换乘停车位与其发展轻轨附近的产业的目标是冲突的。

在政府里工作的有些垃圾拿着纳税人的高薪不做人事，整天没什么鸡巴鸟事就琢磨着怎么从百姓身上多榨取一个钱币，我所知道的一位公务员一年年薪有十五万，经常没鸡巴鸟事闲的发慌，刷微信，纳税人的钱就是这样被这样的硕鼠给糟蹋了，可是他们这群贪婪的混蛋还要给老百姓添负担，一个公用停车场都不放过，提收费建议的杂碎太可耻了，那么多失业人，很多人都离开了AB省

Edmonton council looks for answers on Century Park and Ride

& {4 v1 f" I; i" X" ?The city is exploring a raft of options to deal with the looming loss of the Century Park and Ride, including a new LRT station, a parkade and a shuttle bus.
+ `9 o! k" ~( a- T* \$ lThe city could lose the current park and ride lot as early as 2020 when the lease on the land expires. The developer of the Century Park area has told the city he is not interested in renewing the lease.
0 ~7 {9 l8 k# Q; Z5 P0 b) {Coun. Michael Walters said he believes the city won’t find just one solution to the problem and will have to run a shuttle from the Heritage Valley bus terminal, consider building a new station near 40th Avenue and find a way to replace at least some of the parking on a city-owned piece of land on the site.
Walters said the current park and ride lot was always understood to be temporary. The city considered building a 1,200-stall parkade at the station, but abandoned those plans.
Walters said whether that 1,200 stall parkade is the right option is up for debate, but something will have to be built.
“Read my lips: we will build some sort of parking facility on the Century Park Site,” he said.
Council may also get other options with a planned rezoning for the site that is coming forward later this year. The area was initially pitched as a dense, transit-oriented development with multiple residential towers.
Walters said after years of waiting on that project he would like to see the developer move forward.

- \! I) {: _4 S) }5 A0 t“We have been through two economic upswings. We have seen 25 per cent population growth in the city. We have had some of the lowest interest rates we have ever seen and still nothing has been built,” he said.
The city’s chief planner agreed the city has waited too long to see movement.
“It has certainly taken longer than we anticipated and hasn’t become everything we hoped for.”
