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 truth is that none of our MPs and MLAs ever have traffic-related problems or parking problems because their convoys sail through smoothly after traffic is blocked for their benefit. If they had to experience these problems personally, if they had to experience first-hand the hell of commuting, I'm sure they would be motivated to do something about it immediately.

Instead of treating the symptoms of the illness, why dont we just get to the root cause of the disease? The problem is there are too many cars in this country which is over-populated to begin with. Why doesnt the government encourage public transport? If public transport was improved and if there was up-scale transport available for the more affluent sections of society, we wouldnt have parking problems. Singapore allows only even or odd-numbered cars on the roads by turn. Please implement this.

For parking in any city i feel that the following can be done. 1. Multi storied parking can be made just above the railway platforms. 2. Parks can have underground multi level parking. 3. We can also have multi level parking below wide roads. All this is a bit fund consuming which can be recovered by way of parking fees but it will solve our parking problem in the long run.

1. Identify in every locality one or more parking space which can be charged at a premium who does not have a parking within their premises. Build multi-level parking at Corp expense; Allow families to have only one vehicle and charge @ 200% for second vehicle. De-register all those vehicle not conforming to road/emission standards or >15 years old. In narrow streets, have odd/even day parking for smooth traffic flow. post homeguard volunteers in every street to check the above.

In Mumbai u will find the left lane always parked with vehicles, this is done with bribes given to Traffic officers, you have to stop this as it will decongest traffic atleast 30% and that lane can be converted in to CYCLE & BEST & TWO WHEELER & AMBULANCE & VIP Lane Only

Parking Space should be made available by the Govt and RTO instead of Harassing car owners for it.Govt should Release Vehicles SALE QUOTA for every RTO MH01-02-03-04etc according to space available in Mumbai.Parking Charges should be nominal for first Hrs and should keep doubling every Hr so that people avoid bringing cars in Mumbai Local Transport has to be Modyfied

Hi Sir i have been driving to Mumbai since 1987 when i purchased my is car which i used to drive on rent a car basis,What i found in Mumbai is that all the available parking is operated by private operators illegally hand in glove with local RTO Officers example Crowford market, To avoid corruption regarding Parking all vehicles should be issued Parking debit cards ( Example Green Cards issued t SBI for Transfer of cash ) which should be linked directly to car owners account Parking/ Fine etc

introduce parking tax. A particular vehicle always occupy a space of the city. There is limitation of space availability for housing, nearly 5 lakh people living without houses in Mumbai. So living space is important than the parking space. permission for Vehicle purchase is only given to those having parking space in house or apartments. parking in public roads and service roads,platform should not be allowed. Parking tax should be introduced. this can reduce the no. of vehicles in the city.
