Changes aimed at luring more shoppers downtown appear to be working.
The Calgary Parking Authority says a growing number of people are parking downtown and staying longer after some rates were cut and more spaces were added.
Late last year, the flat hourly fees were cut from $5 to $2 for the first half-hour, $2.25 for the next half hour and $5 for the second hour.
One shopper tells The Calgary Sun parking authority lots are now the cheapest.
Another woman says it’s still too expensive to lure her to shop downtown.
