Facilitating cars not going anywhere trumps bike lanes

B' Spokes: I never really understood why it's governments obligation to provide parking for businesses free of charge. If a business wants a parking let them pony up ~$2000 a spot every few years (IIRC). If businesses were actually paying for their parking we could move it from on-street to a vacant lot turned into a parking lot, we would have options to accommodate all users but as it is there is barely money to keep the status quo. Think about this: Exactly how much gas tax is generated by a stopped and parked car?

I know home owners that are charged for sidewalk repairs and alley repairs, so why are business exempt from on-street parking repairs?
