Chaverim, I do not believe you are encouraging Jews to drive on Shabbos.
To explain what I mean:
If the roads of Jerusalem were CLOSED on Shabbos and you would reopne them, that would be encouraging Jews to drive. After all, the Jews of Jerusalem could now move their cars.
Giving people a place to park is not an invitation to drive. Any Jews who would be driving, would be driving regardless.
GAW, but without payment and non-Jews running it, how is that chillul Shabbos? The city itself isn’t doing anything.
