The vibrant city of Mumbai, home to over 12 Million people, is the financial capital of the country. In order to improve the quality of life, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) wishes to improve the basic infrastructure.The city has seen a significant increase in the private vehicles over last few years. It has become increasingly difficult for citizens to find public parking places while they are on the move. In order to ease the parking woes of the citizens, MCGM proposes to adopt and implement a new parking policy. The new parking policy elaborates on-street parking (residential parking, parking near schools, and parking for tourist places) and off-street parking. Moreover, MCGM also envisages web based parking to be implemented and issue receipts using hand held devices.

As a pilot project, it is proposed to implement the parking policy in ‘A’ ward after receiving the necessary approvals.

Suggestions are invited from the public at large for improvement of the proposed policy.

The draft policy can be seen here: https://mygov.in/frontendgeneral/pdf/parking-policy-20122014.pdf

there should be a different building for auto rickshaws where they can park it and only from there anyone can access them. other than over terrace and underground parking there should be buildings for parking. The traffic police should fine anyone whether poor or rich for incorrect parking.

Parking issues can be reduced if it is made mandatory for private car owners to use their cars alternately as per the Odd or even car no plates. And in addition to it impose rules on private offices to have buses or group travel vehicles systems for their employees. (This can be implemented strictly only if there is heavy fine of more than 1000/- imposed on offenders.)

Build a covered multi-level-parking-building over railway tracks wherever feasible with help of Metros/Railways space sponsor. The space sponsor can earn revenue from collections. Identification of proposed building site should minimize congestion, probably supported by optional feeder transports. It can be applied to all major metros as well.

1. For all future planning, parking facility is to be incorporated in the plan compulsorily 2. For exisiting areas, Multilevel automated parking facilities in multistoried buildings could be planned 3. Improvement of metro, light raile transits and connectivity of them with major markets/centre would ease load on parking

BUILDING MULTILEVEL PARKING OR PARKING SPACE IS NO SOLUTION FOR MUMBAI. FIRST GOVT SHUD COVER MUMBAI WITH METRO AND MONO RAIL AND SECOND INCENTIVE SHUD BE GIVEN TO LOW COST TAXI / AUTO PROVIDER LIKE UBER WHICH WILL GO LONG WAY IN SOLVING PARKING PROBLEM. UBER IS ALSO PLANNING LOW COST AUTO SERVICE LIKE TAXI SERVICE WHICH WILL PROVE REVOLUTIONARY.
