What else can be done? Universal lot sharing agreements, shared parking, and annulling reserved parking stipulations.
Especially the later is a structural factor in the oversupply of parking. It's the parking equivalent of circuit-switching networks - which naturally results in the oversupply of circuits. Mutatis mutandis for all things parking.
If one is to admit that these played a role in the oversupply of parking, then it's imperative to annul them to make progress towards right-sizing parking supply.

Reduce the regulatory regimes that force cars on business owners and individuals: eliminate street level parking requirements for property owners, create car-free zones in city centers, declare war on Saudi Arabia, prioritize foot traffic in new commercial development, set minimums for bike/pedestrian friendly mileage, decrease the number of single family residences and increase multi-family domiciles. There's a lot.
