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

Mumbai has a strong public transport Network which include buses, taxi,autos,locals.People staying in Mumbai or visiting Mumbai should be motivated to use more of public transport and less of private transport.Apart from Parking this will ease a lot of other problems like congestion on roads and pollution.

Only one honest senior officer is required to tackle the problem. Although it would not be easy to find or would never get the position because there are vested interest galore who do not want improvement and chaos is the key to additional income. General public is not able to speak because of threat from vested interest. Soon people who have been venting their frustration online will also stop because for lack of action and vested interests getting data of people speaking againest them.

Any problem India faces starts from corruption and ends with no action on corrupt government officials and employees. However long and numerous subjects that may be discussed in this forums, nothing will come out of it until one day the government says enough is enough and we will not allow almost 100% corruption in our departments. Rather then using the long process of find solutions to simple problems first discussion should have been how to tackle or punish corrupt employees and officials.

Continued We can even provide people with more as many underground parking lots as we want. Surveillance will also be much easier. Since this project is supposed to be very expensive, I would also suggest that a little more money should be spent to maintain the quality and also use the most advanced technology. After all India is going to become a superpower and we should not worry about all these petty things.

1. Use the Web based system to place parking availability on a website or app. 2. Allow users to book a parking space ahead of time at a discount. 3. Parking charges need to be time based so users pay the economic cost of parking. 4. Make a specific ratio of parking space to floor space mandatory for all buildings. 5. Make it profitable for developers to build multi story car parks and charge a market rate. 6. Aim to maintain specific ratio of total car park spaces to car population.

We can also reduce the number of traffic jams by making underground roads which will replace the major routs in the cities. Since they will be underground, we will also be able to increase the speed limit by a 100 km per hour because there will not be any pedestrians, animals or slow moving traffic. Like this we will be able to save a lot of fuel, people's time and also the environment. Since people will now have a new alternative, the roads will be a lot emptier.
