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

5. Loading & unloading of trucks of any size can be done within 10 hours 10PM to 8AM. 6. It won't be a problem to commercial entities as these loading/unloading activities won't occur through out the month. 7. Any such commercial entities with involves in only such loading/unloading activities need to have there own parking lots. 8. Commercial areas with multiple smaller retailers /road side shops, govt should take initiatives in creating parking slots for their loading/unloading activities.

Use of Office building parking space during weekends to decongest the roads and use spare capacity. Peak hour parking charges for vehicles going to heavy traffic zones. Online platform to buy parking space one for place of living and one for place of work (If parking space has not been provided by the society). Create multi layered parking space in the city.

1. Road side parking is being done as there is no place for parking inside the residential area. 2. There must be total ban on parking of vehicles at night on the roads. 3. Simultaneously, the govt must create parking houses on reasonal rent. 3. If any vehicle is parked, there must be fine, which should be at least double the rent of parking houses. If we take such actions, people will find other alternatives to park their vehicles either inside their residential areas or in the parking houses.

Now it is time that Govt. at Municipality level should create parking land including multiple parking space .This will make urban life congestion free .Municipality should take parking fee and enhance income to be used for roads/flyover ,sever system ,appointment of employees.Local authority should not allow construction on ground floor and make compulsory to leave space for parking .Roads should be wide by acquiring land .

Parking slots created in USA with multi layer provision is the best solution. In busy roads parking should be banned during day time.Places subject to frequent traffic jam can be under CCTV surveillance.

Instead of municipality taking the vehicles which are wrongly parked, they can just give policemen some digicams(which are cheap), now these policemen can take photographs as proof for wrongly parked vehicles and these can be sent along with challan to their homes...obviously the address can be found from the traffic control system and directory. It will be cheap and benefical in the long run. Further, the big traffic vehicles themselves jam the area.

In metro cities ,most people park their vehicles in the street .Street is public place where vehicles must be prohibited .People who have more than enough money ,have purchased more than one vehicle and use generally one. In my view every citizen should park his car inside his residence and if he does not ,he should pay parking tax to Municipality.In this way congestion in the street may be reduced and income of the Municipality may be increased to be used in clean India.

Parking is done by people many of times on the main and busy roads, that is wrong but they dont understand it. The same parking can be done in streets in between two main roads which dont see so much traffic. But people find it tiresome to park the car inside the roads and come to the place where they want to be. To deter them from parking vehicles where it is not allowed one thing which can help is symbols and signboards on road...especially mentioning fine if car found there.
