I know it is not the point of the article, but the parking garage is in Utrecht, not in Amsterdam

That's a good distinction.
I think a lot of places are reporting "Amsterdam" because they apparently unveiled the largest bike parking garage in Amsterdam just a few months back. But the one in Utrecht is the largest in the world and only. Both cities seem to be very close (<40km) from each other, too.
Either way, the Dutch are showing the rest of the world how it's done!
To be faiiiiiiir, Oakville is 40km from Toronto and is basically considered "Toronto" by many outside the GTHA, so this feels similar to that.
I think the 24 hours free is really crucial to actually get people cycling*, all the bike parking garages at train stations that i know in germany gets this wrong.
*edit: on trains really. Or out of cars.
Yes please! ❤️
