The final report of the Edmonton Parking Management Study, prepared by Bunt & Associates in conjunction with the author and published in January 2013, identified a number of block faces where the installation of pay-parking was recommended. The City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada requested that the consultants prepare a set of criteria that can be used to assess where the installation of curbside pay-parking can be justified. This paper outlines the author's approach to create a criterion to meet the city's needs. The management of curbside parking is typically comprised of four basic strategies where the degree of regulation depends on the magnitude of the curbside parking problem. These parking control measures start at the simplest level of regulation, which is free/unrestricted parking, and then the degree of control is increased to signing to regulate the duration of stay to a specific time period, pay-parking (meters or multi-space machines) with specific time limits, and lastly parking bans (peak hour or all day).
