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

There is a lot of land at prominent places in the Mumbai/Thane cities already grabbed by all sorts of politicians and converted into commercial or residential complexes without any regard to parking. All those lands and properties made should be wrested back by the government and provision for public parking be made. In US and other European cities, there is no commercial establishment without the provision for parking. In our country, even hospitals/clinics do not have parking facility.

night parking should be allowed on reasonable charges for residents in the area around malls, nehru science centre, public places .in addition to decrease traffic on roads every local station should have day parking charges on reasonable rates so people can take trains and not go by car long distances. in additional pay n park services should be alloted to building on the road just outside their building on chargeable basis. this is a top priority

This is a herculean task in Mumbai city. Any rule or policy is not going to help improve the condition of general traffic & parking space in the city. Firstly, clear all the vendors from both sides of all roads, demarcate area of parking, improve conditions of roads, need to inculcate responsibilty within all riders minds & educate them, need to build infrastructure to make available well maintained parking lots in known congested areas, need to bring some sort of control & discipline

Wherever possible make it mandatory for Parking on week ends at School and college grounds or building front premises even on week days if School, College can take at least 5-10% of extra public vehicles to utilize there spaces with appropriate market charges and parking services will definitely help to reduce on road parking. Ground means I don't mean sport grounds but small open grounds , play areas etc where no sport infrastructure but only natural ground or bldg. open space.

Private parking lots be built in shopping and other areas who can charge fees. 2) While granting permission make sure that the building is given Tax concession IF they build a certain number of Pay and Use Public toilets in the facility. 3. All Residential locality Roads should have one side parking for max 12 hours - this is to avoid people parking their cars in a road and FORGETTING about it.STRICT IMPELENTATION OF RULES ARE A MUST. Lorries parking on Highways for eternity should STOP.

Where BMC is giving the permission for construction to new building,even for re-development building, should make compulsion for at list one parking for one flat. Also Govt. should look in the roads, The width of main roads should be wider. Govt. should not allowed parking on the road, even at malls , movie theater it should be compulsion to construct the parking place for visitors.

1. The vehicles with registration Nos. ending with even number should be allowed on even dates and odd numbers on odd dates. 2. Traffic Police should be given target to collect fines from the vehicles parking both sides of road to discourage them. 3. New buildings (residential / commercial) should be forced to keep at least 10% of total parking spaces for visitors. 4. Monthly reports from buildings on 2/4 wheelers which are not registered in Mumbai and should be heavily fined.

Vertical growth can be an effective solution to the problem. Negotiate with people in horizontal growth colonies and rehabilitate them to vertical ones, thereby consuming lesser space. GIS can be of much help in rearranging the present traffic to optimum utilization.
