The Act’s intention isn’t to give responsibility to the OC, but to make sure someone is responsible if the by-law is badly written or negligent in this regard. I think you might be up the creek without the proverbial on this one.
Must admit I agree with JT on this one but you do have a couple of not exactly ideal options IMHO.
1) As they only make up 25% of entitlements vote down any improvements to these parking spaces.
2) Advise them that unless they agree to a new bylaw transferring responsibility for maintenance to the lot owners the Strata will be applying for a review of unit entitlements which if approved will increase their Strata fees to compensate their increase lot value.
3) Advise them that you will be applying to have the bylaw declared invalid as Strata property was transferred to selected lot owners with no monetary compensation to the Strata (this is the weakest threat because bylaws have to be objected to within 2 years of registration but they might not know that).
