WOW. Edmonton just made history, becoming the 1st major Canadian city to remove parking minimums CITY-WIDE.

We can finally park this policy back in the 70’s where it belongs!

Huge kudos to admin & #yegcc for leading the way! Thx to everyone who supported this!

Thank you to the businesses, property owners, media & news outlets, planners, politicians & fellow city builders who elevated this conversation & got ppl excited about parking.

Clear communication & evidence-based decision making won out today.

#yeg you just set a precedent!

Also, UNANIMOUS SUPPORT folks.

As a young planner, this is one of the most exciting changes that I’ve been around for.

Feeling very proud to be part of a city that’s willing to lead on progressive city-building policies like this one.

Thx to all of #yegcc & @PlanEdmonton w/ a special thx to @edmonton_anne @Anewavenueyeg @PeterPlansIt & to @doniveson @AndrewKnack @Ward4Aaron for ensuring this was passed without delay.

This will set the tone & culture of city building in #yeg for decades to come. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hey, @StrongTowns @clmarohn, you can add Edmonton to the list ;)

What are parking minimums?

Here’s an article we wrote that explains what parking minimums are and why it’s important to get rid of them.
