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

Create paid parking terminals at short intervals. These can be in the form of multi floor buildings only for parking. Create parking zones on roadsides and steetsides which should have paid parking system (pay at a kiosk and get a ticket to keep on your car dashboard). Cars parked without such tickets or at non-parking zones must be heavily fined.

How about building under ground sub ways just for parking your car near railway stations, airports and public places like malls and corporate offices

In my view make sure that people of mumbai use public transport rather than their own transport.

Build multiple layer/tier parking area in key locations to pay and park.The revenue can be used for developing more such parking places. Promote standard public transport catering to different class of commuters - line road;metro etc.there by reducing individual parking.Those who yet depend on their own vehicles shall pay park.

1. Strict penalties on unauthorized parkings shall promote use of public transport. 2. Multistoried parking and basement parkings. 3. No new Buildings of Residential Housing and Shopping complexes shall be allowed without provision for proper parking. 4. Parking rate variations as per timings and locations shall be planned by Municipal Corporations.

All the companies should provide cab/bus policy.So that number of people using vehicles will get reduced. 60 people coming from the same place in 60 vehicles(bikes/cars) can be managed by 1 bus.Think about it.Using office cab or Office bus must be mandatory to avoid parking and traffic problems in metro cities.

to me it seems that in mumbai probiem of parking is hard to solve all over mumbai u see only residential and office buildings there is no planing of parking.what corporation can do is alloting new buildings with basement parking.or find space to build multystory parking by privet builders and allow them to charge minimum per hour from car owners for set period of time then corporation take over.

There are not enough parking lots in Mumbai and most of the parking is done on roads. While residential and commercial towers are high rise, parking is done only at one level, i.e. ground level. Instead of building more housing colonies, some of the space should be used to develop multi level vehicle parking on chargeable basis. For Taxi owners also multi level parking stations should be made available on monthly charge basis so that more space is available on roads

All vehicles in Mumbai should be grouped into 7 groups and There should be mandatory that one group vehicles must not run on the road on specific day of the week. So that at least we could reduce 14-15% which would be great relief itself.
