Those awful surface lots are getting filled in, but parking usually goes underneath. For example, I live at pinnacle centre across from the ACC. when events are on, people pack themselves into the surface lots while lots of spaces remain in the commercial garage under my building on p1 and p2.

More free parking also begets more congestion and more collisions. Better to change all free parking, in the outer 416 and 905, to pay parking, which will increase transit use.
