Not sure if this is automated / you have any chars to spare, but is there interest in seeing the average occupied spaces represented as %? Something like "Zone C was 70% occupied on average on Saturday." I can also write something myself if the data is there... 🤔

It’s lightly automated. I can change the values to percents next week!

Anecdotal, but I found it easier to find parking when I was downtown this Saturday. Big fan of paid! I was a bit surprised they left the 2-hr spots on Queen between Spring Garden & Morris as M-F, rather than extending to M-Sat. It's right in the middle of Zone C. Maybe @lecwhite.bsky.social knows?

Would you mind 311ing this, Adam? I’m not sure if sign changing is still in progress or this was missed etc. I’ll definitely be looking now for sign changes as I walk around! Thx.

Yep! I’ll report it tomorrow, or probably Tuesday given the holiday.

More people are using the parking now?

We can't compare to Saturdays before paid parking but according to the data we have usage has gone up week over week (except for zone H which dipped yesterday compared to prev Saturdays). Saturday usage is around the same as the preceding weekdays which I think is interesting.

I wonder now if there is somewhere(s) else with paid Saturday/weekend parking we could compare to
