I would love to see us get to a place where we don't have onsite parking requirements for child care. I know increasingly in the neighbourhoods where I have had children in child care, that a lot of families are arriving on bus or a lot of electric cargo bikes these days, getting kids around in East Van and in other parts of the city.
