Remove all on-street parking in the CBD

Pedestrianise High Street + other town centres
Research shows it's people who walk that spend more time and money in town centre, not people who drive to shops. The well document benefits are economic as well as social and go a long way to improve health and well-being. Trials are a great way to start so people, especially trade, can see for themselves what the result and benefits are. In practical terms, if you pedestrianise, remember to include places for people to rest. Take out parking spaces, replace with plants (maybe herb, veggie gardens or fruit trees) and chairs/benches. Trade is worried but they'll see people come in, stay and spend.

Set up a road space rationing system
Push people to carpool or use public transport. Many big cities have already moved to this solution in order to reduce pollution and traffic congestion.
