You didn't ask about choice of vehicles when parking. When I want to park on Albany Street, II'm doing it on a bicycle--and the businesses on the street offer no bike parking at all, as far as I am aware.
The proposed improvements to Albany Street are important for increasing the safety of all road users. The bike lanes will provide the only protected route for cyclists approaching the CBD from the harbour area, and they will also cater to large numbers of university students and staff. The business owners complaining about loss of a few parking spaces on the street ignore an important point: making the entire street safer for cyclists and pedestrians will make it easier and more attractive for people in cars to visit the businesses even if they have to park a slightly longer distance away. (Before the George Street improvements, I was very reluctant to cross the street, since it meant either dodging cars or walking to the end of a long block and waiting at a crossing. These days I am much more likely to visit shops on both sides of the street.) Please avoid yielding to disingenuous delaying tactics and get this project built.
