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

No need tomake any underground or overground parking.... Just make an unoform national parking policy for cities that each n every main road within town n market should must have left a minimum 15 feet parking space on entire road throughout in place of making deviders so that people can stop n stay their vehicle where they want to stop n stay without any problem smoothly... And it just need some more width despite useless barriers n deciders...

Dear Narendra Sir, I would like you to encourage people to use more and more public transport, just like the Ghatkopar-Versova metro line and the chembur-wadala mono rail, I would like you to start the long back shutted tram - railway systems and provide them transport facilities at a cheaper rates connecting all the important areas of Mumbai and the respective metro cities. This will not only help the government to increase revenue but also reduce the traffic jams and parking chaos.

RFID card should be made compulsory for every private car, and banks can be used to disburse the Card - and through preloaded RFID card, toll and parking in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, etc., should be automatically deducted based on time in parking or crossing of toll naka. This would avoid corruption in Parking and toll counting. Cars without RFID should be charged at double the rate. All Government vehicles which are exempted from Parking or Toll should be given a dummy code.

Parking problem is linked with traffic, the number of vehicles on road on a given day. If we can control the number of vehicles that can be on the road, in some way the parking problem with also be resolved. In some countries there is a rule, there are number plate series published in daily newspaper, shown on TV, mentioned on Radio etc. which cannot be seen on the road for that day. This way that number of vehicles will not be on the road and as a result will help control traffic situation

Parking problem can be solved by paid parking. Most of the parking problem can be solved by using public transports which is relatively cheap and convenient... we can also use different cycle station on near spaces and the cycles must be given on rental basis which must be little. Also different lens for cycles,cars. Bigger footpaths, underground and flyover footpaths must be provided on places with more crowded places.

More parking will attract more vehicles, which'll increase congestion.introduce congestion taxation at major roads to avoid traffic congestion(eg Stockholm)and paid parking. Its high time that people should start seeing the increasing traffic as a problem created by themselves! Its not the govt who add private vehicles to the road, so better not ask for more parking and use public transport than adding to already polluted atmosphere, if Mumbai doesn't want to be the next Delhi!

By building Under-ground parking and multistorey parking. Busy old & unplanned markets should restrict vehicle movt.(allowing vehicles only for fixed time early morning & late night for delivery & other essential purposes) .Aample parking space should be provided away from the busy crowded market place so that such places can be convenient/friendly for walkers.
