Of course, another option would be to actually build the ma'ar with its own (underground and multi-level) parking garages.
 
I fully agree with Yehuda on the multi-level parking garages. In some of the parking garages in Jerusalem you pay a set fee no matter how long you park, in others you get the first hour or two free and pay per hour thereafter.   It would of course still be paid parking but when taking into account the gas wasted driving round and round looking for a parking and the time wasted, it will be worth it in the end.  
 
The open space opposite where Bank Hapoalim and the school are, would be perfect.

I think the idea of paid parking in the merkaz is an amazing idea.
The three main culprits of the parking problem in the merkaz are:
 
a-      The rental car companies
b-      Residents of the apartments in the merkaz who simply don't use the underground parking that is reserved for them
c-       People who don't park straight and take up two (or three!) parking spots as a result.
 
Resident cards will not help any of those situations since the rental car companies, the apartment residents, and people who take up too many spaces will all have them.  The people who use the merkaz are, almost totally, residents of RBS anyway, so having cards would simply remove any benefit to the program.
 
But initiating paid parking in the merkaz would eliminate all three of these problems (if fully implemented properly).
 
A – it would become too expensive for the rental car companies to continue parking their cars in the lots.
B- The residents would have a free option in their own lots.
C- Those taking up two or three spots and not paying for them all could still be ticketed (if this is implemented properly).
 
Of course, another option would be to actually build the ma'ar with its own (underground and multi-level) parking garages.
