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

People complain about not being able to find any spac for parking because they fail to find a spot even when parking is available. This problem can be solved by using attaching balloons to the ground through strings. When a car will stand at that place, the balloon will be pulled down by it. Soon as the car will leave that spot, the baloonl will rise again and will be inviting people to park at that spot. This will save people's time and a lot of fuel.

For replace ment for hawakers they can share and take a shop on rent and sell their items from there instead from street this would increase their credibility and also give the locals i permament location to buy from.

i am sry to say this but we need to get rid of either cars or foothpath as foothpaths are really used by hawakers and most off the people walk on roads ... getting rid of foothpaths will give a space of extra lane and make the parking area more towards the wall and make more room on roads to walk and cars to drive .and in deed also remove hawaking area.

One of the biggest problems in Mumbai is unauthorised occupation of space on public roads by all types of entities including hawkers, shop owners, transport firms, and public transport vehicles like autos/cabs when not working. Any parking solution for Mumbai must include clearing up and keeping clear public roads/lanes so that seamless traffic movement can facilitate new parking solutions. Without clearing streets of illegal occupation of public spaces, new parking solutions may not work fully.

Multi-level Parking (not power operated or automatic type) in every locality on Government/ Public Land and the spots allotted to, whosoever asks for it, at a price. The streets/ lanes should be freed of parking. Dr Jayanti P. Gupta
