Agreed. The Glebe is a bit unique in that it has big events that skew parking needs, but the numbers that the City gave suggested that even during events there is still parking to be had. In particular the Second Avenue garage is almost never full, and it is smack in the middle of the neighbourhood, so it should be relatively simple to shift street parking there and make better use of the space on Bank St.
