Eliminate minimum parking requirements within 800m of SkyTrain stations
New developments should not require parking if they are close to rapid transit stations. The developer can choose how many parking spaces to include, but they must be underground and accessed by side streets, not the main shopping street.

Please take this further, and eliminate parking requirements entirely. These requirements artificially inflate the supply of parking and thus the amount of car traffic in the city and hide the costs of parking in everything else so that you pay for parking whether or not you drive.
