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

Depending on vehicle density in area, all new construction should mandatory have parking constructed for public in the range of 25 to 100%. These parking lots should be auctioned to operations and should be linked electronically with online portals for seamless operations.

A clear policy on encouraging electric vehicles by bringing cost of ownership lower (such as Reva) must be worked out where Central & State Govt do not impose any tax. Electric cars being small will reduce parking area requirements and also have a significant impact on lowering pollution levels. All BJP ruled states can immediately bring taxes in electric cars to NIL. Other States would then be forced to do so eventually.

Layout should be approved with minimum 100' road width.Existing layout should adopt the same whereever possible.Building plan should be approved with space of common usage apart from vehicle parking. Public places in the layout shall always be utilised for vehicle parking. In urban area a common park should be made available for vehicle parking with every one kilometer. Master plan, ring road/outer ring road should speak the real need of the people and it always should be meant for that forever

Two ideas for solving parking problems 1-Convert BEST owned Aagaars with space available into multilevel paid parking for cars within a geographical area near the open space. Also large societies or townships in Metros such as Hiranandani or oberois should work with townplanning and work out a solutionshould 2-

parking on the roadsides should be prohibited as roads are meant for transporting. in fact in AP Mr.chandrababu naidu in those told the court that if one cannot park his car in a judges compound he has no right to park a car on the road also! parking on roadside is a nuisance and should be made punishable. parking is not the responsibility of government but the owner of vehicles! cars should not be sold without parking facilities and residences should not be permitted without parking facilities.

Idea of parking is rubbish, since the root cause of too much population and poor transportation is not solved. The problem cannot be solved unless these 2 issues are tacked head-on.

Corporation should not give permission for new residential or commercial building without the owner making adequate parking space for users.

Corporation should create & maintain parking, public parking must be thru payment. Residential area parking should be free but need land & demarcation by builders, on publkic roads it must be payable. For commercial & tourist locations paid parking owned by corporation & private owners using multi layer parking must be created.Corporation should monitor & collect fee for establishing and maintaining all car parks.

1) where ever open places are available construct building with floor parking. 2) commercial area start parking charges with hourly basis so that many persons are parking for long time because its a free parking. we hope 50 % problem will be solved by this way.
