^ It's a plant, why couldn't it be cut the same way as any other?
I suspect that a lot of zero-parking proposals will be catering to people who intend to work or study close to their residence, i.e. within walking or cycling distance. I doubt that a large proportion of those intending to move into these places are planning to take lengthy transit rides each day. When I lived on Jasper Ave in Oliver I walked to work at the eastern end of downtown... only on the most miserable days did I take the bus since transit along that stretch was barely faster than walking anyway. So even if there is a pivot to cars on a broader scale, I don't think it will eliminate demand for zero-parking developments altogether.
