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

First it is important to understand why parking problem comes. This is because of the attitude towards visitors and customers. Appreciate and understand that visitors and customers should be accommodated inside the premises they are visiting. So it should be made mandatory to provide space for visitors. Visitors are not to park their vehicle on the roads. So, when a building is constructed the fact that visitors need be accommodated should be included in the plan.

For kind attention of the PM and all the ministers/MPs. Kindly see the attached document about my book "India's Unique Transformation Programme" (publisher www.gyanbooks.com) which presents a magnificent, advanced, comprehensive, and progressive transformation programme for India with solutions, formulae, techniques, processes, strategy, etc. to move India in the top 10 of the UN Human Development Index.

Make smart underground parking connected to the Mumbai Metro Stations, these parkings can be part of the integrated metro system. Smart Parking will be connected by GPS/twitter or likes so any one knows which is the nearest parking available and how many slots in the parking. There will be elevator driven parking if its multi level parking.

Create Central Multistory dedicated parking at nominal price say RS 10 for 2 Hr. so daily People will have to bear Rs50/- or so for parking. Infrastructure should be subsided by government. This will ease up in roads traffic which are mainly choked by road parking.

Parking is every city's nightmare and causes street quarrels and accidents. The city should invest in building multi level parking or lease the permit to do so. There should be a good capacity parking available every few sq. Km and all for a nominal payment. To ensure that people use it, idling and parking along the roads should be banned

First identify the most vulnerable area of the city in terms of traffic, security, pedestrian. Then mark most vulnerable area as NO PARKING ZONE. You should have parking zone near Railway Stations, Bus Stations and all the public transport junctions. Raise inform and reward system for parking in non-designated area. This will stop illegal parking, when citizen started reporting. Make policy which involve people participation with reward system.
