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

Parking policy- is it a joke 4 ? Most traffic cops are busy collecting haftas and bribes, there is not one, when the traffic is jammed on turner road, internal roads, it takes 30 minutes to go for 1 km, as there is no proper traffic policy movement, people break no entry points there are no cops there, how can there be cops doing nations work when they are busy filling their pockets, the Mumbai traffic is in shambles, due to lop sided expansion of buildings without RTO approvals or study....more

Parking policy - is it a joke 3? Mostly no parking rules state one cannot park 15 meters from the corner of the road, so what if the road is 20 meters wide , this means the block has to be 100 meters wide, so that from one corner to another 100 meters of parking space is there - 30 meters, in mumbai most blocks are 20 meters wide, the no parking policy is so old, that it should be put to sleep, parking on roads should be allowed freely. Most traffic cops have towing agency tie ups.... more....

Parking Policy ? Is it a joke ? There is non that exists, the Gov of the state, sees its subjects as MILCHING COWS and not as its citizens. There is no foresight, building permissions are giving without noc from traffic department, dust generated from road projects and the amount of dirt left behind, will put PM Modi to shame, as this is against Swacch bharat, the traffic police are only collecting bribes and never seen to control traffic snarls, they are partners in towing services... more ...

There are several empty building plots. Permit parking on this on temporary rental basis. Let renters establish no legal claim of any sort. Also, some societies have extra parking space, which they could rent out to neighboring societies on temporary basis, again without any establishment of legal claims. Trucks supplying industry, from outside city, should not be allowed to park on streets at night. They should be summoned by industry at unloading time, and have turnaround by prompt unloading.

I feel that the government should make it compulsory for school, market, office building etc to first create the multi level parking &then they should get the license to operate. Market place should have its parking far from it to inculcate the healthy habit of walk. There should be heavy duty fine on those who park theirs vehicles at wrong places &waste the time of other people.

1. Develop multi level parking facility on built-own-operate basis. Specially in business locailities. 2.Clear guidance, instructions to reduce park on road sides this will help in decongesting the roads. 3.The vehicles stalling on the roads and causing traffic jams should be penalised so that the owner take care of their vehicle to avoid such issues while travelling.
