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

..with a bang and launching a ton of programs ranging from health policy to oil fields, make in India, agriculture and defense. Also, congratulations on using our own Infosys Mysore Campus as a Smart City model for our other cities; I think PM Modi made a very wise choice to use it....as the campus itself is self containing, beautiful, and fully functional. Major REITs could learn to use this campus as a model as well. On interest rates....I stand corrected and I'm thrilled I was incorrect..

Good evening; following the other posts below, better trains, buses would be the obvious answer to try and reduce the number of cars on the road. But what about high class auto rickshaws?? Autos are still popular, easy to drive in dense traffic, relatively cheap but perhaps could be modernized too? I don't know....just trying out another idea. More autos and fewer cars would also reduce traffic density. On a separate note, Congratulations to PM Modi and his cabinet for kick starting 2015 off..

Reduction of Traffic in Mumbai can be helped by introducing 'Executive Local Trains' fully Air Conditioned with doors closed. Hope dignitaries will prefer such trains instead of their Cars

Since we have dearth of area,Multi storey car parking should be constructed at regular intervals,also in a city like mumbai car pooling be promoted or be mandatory . Additional space be provided in Redeveloped or new constructions,to the public at nominal cost.

In A Ward particularly around Colaba area there are heritage buildings which were built before cars came on the road and hence were not built with car parking spots. Also these cant be redeveloped to include car parking. Therefore residents here have no option but to park on the street outside their house. Under these circumstances how you can you expect a resident to pay for parking ? Shouldn't residents of heritage buildings be exempt from these charges ?

Cluster development of the societies will not only give better living space to residents, it will result in more parking areas, open spaces and beautiful Mumbai. No additional house/ flats should be allowed for redeveloped buildings i.e. no increase in no of dwelling units. The developer can get right to own commercial area in redeveloped building not residential area.

Parking in Mumbai is a huge problem specially in south mumbai. Cant we make underground parking lots below parks and grounds. Also cant we give extra fsi to builders for redevelopment with a compulsion to build cumpulsory parking for the residents and also Pay & Park for public whose rent goes to BMC for maintenance of the roads around. this way a lot of wrong parking on roads and to a extent a lot of traffic will ease out.

Unfortunately, like New Delhi, Mumbai is not a planned city. It needs a completely new approach:- 1. Construction of multi-level Flyovers are MOST essential within the city. 2. Clearing of illegal dwellings especially unlicenced commercial outlets. 3. Construction of underground Parking Facilities with higher charges ie Rs 100/- at incremental rates. 4. Privatised construction of Multi-Level Parking Lots (on similar lines as Expressways). 5. Older residential areas may be re-developed.
