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

The art of adjusting and helping neighbor has gone away from us. In order to bring parking facility issue a solace and to bring back the helping adjustment tendancy into neighbors the following policy may be proposed. 1) All residents with unused parking space / free empty space should share their space with their neighbors for either free or for a nominal charge. 2) For safety of the owner, there can be an agreement between these people

For Mumbai - with Churchgate/Nariman Point as a center, draw concentric circle going away and towards North Mumbai, each two kilometer radius. Assume the last circle is placed near Borivali. A car travelling towards nariman point from anywhere, it must pay Rs 200 Toll for crossing each zone moving towards Nariman point. This will deter cars entering congested areas and may think of using public transportation, instead.

Notes - Each type of parking permit must be issued, charged certain amount of money, and the rules must be strictly enforced. It is such deterrents that will make people think before they violate the parking rules. Also, certain cars should NOT be allowed to park in congested areas. Certain parking permits should carry very heavy parking fees.

5. Private cars parked overnight while away from home. Continued- Must be punished if parked without permit. These permits can be issued at the time of renewal of car registration. This process can be simplified by areas of municipalities, etc.
