What it fails to mention is that this 11k is out of 265k on-street parking spaces, so it's less than one in twenty. Which is vastly better than nothing, but is not as much as I'd hoped for - there's been a very noticable uptake in the amount of cities talking about getting rid of cars in city centers altogether, and I was hoping Amsterdam would take the lead and get rid of much more parking space.
