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

Like in singapore, car prices should go up by one time road tax, one time parking charges etc, which will reduce traffic and parking problem and also bring acchhe din for the public transport

1. Parking towers should be provided in busy markets 2. Parking fines should be digitized. i.e. Car owner should get a fine receipt sent to his house. Jammers/Towing should stop. 3. The said receipt should have a deadline for payment and failing it should result in direct debit to his/her account or cancellation of license. 4. Co-op societies having parking tower for general public should be given concession in municipal taxes. 5. Benefits must be introduced for car-pools. e.g. dedicated lane.

Residential Bldgs need to be built with parking floors by keeping in mind at least 3 cars per member so that visitor as also future needs to are met and cars do not get parked on road. Parking fees need to be collected only by smart cards and no manual collection to be permitted. MCGM needs to built multi level parking on it's free plots before being taken over by other entities.

BESTdepots can be vertically developed with several levels of parking. This will enable commuters to park and ride. Additional floors can be developed and sold to offices to subsidise building of these parkings. Low cost AC buses (not necessarily low floor) can be provided for park and rides.

Port lands may be considered for building vast multitier parkings, and these may be connected to Nariman Point and other office areas through free shuttles. This will divert traffic from Sion Panvel Road to Eastern freeway, and thus decongest both central and South Mumbai during office hours. If these parkings can also be attached to commercial or retail spaces, similar to CR2, port can earn annuity revenues.

Public transport sensing control for congestion prediction,parking policy to be in accordance with present draft, avoid spot fine if driver is in his seat, request politely move to parking spot with minimal Govt. Parking Place in Mumbai. Traffic police should show them via GPS system to car owner to destination to Govt. Allocated Place, for 2-wheeler 10rs per day for Govt. public parking place,4-wheeler 40rs,Traffic police would have GPS sys to show the owner not fine thus revenue ROI by Govt.

There are 100s of footpath in Mumbai which are not available for local people for walking but they are for local vendors. Most of the people have observed that BMC official takes daily installment from such vendors instead of removing such vendors from the Footpath. If for this local vendors standing near footpath of local stations, separate streets are developed then traffic problem can easily be resolved
