This isn't a bad idea, either. They can make our parking tickets valid for 3 times the paid amount (aka pay for a half hour and it's good for 1 & a half or pay for 10 minutes to get 30 minutes of parking). I work for Toronto Parking Authority so I can see this being viable for both sides...
I think it's great that we had free parking. I think a middle-ground would be us paying, but for it to be a reasonable amount. I save so much on parking downtown by taking my bike that as RetroGrouch said, a $100 fee isn't much to ask for. Obviously, I'd like to pay less than that, but even if it were a bit more, it would still be pretty reasonable (+ you wouldn't have the hassle of dealing with lost/stolen ticket portions)
