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

i request you to kindly take care of vehicles parked on out side of road. In the last two months, there were 2/3 incidents in which someone has burnt all bikes parked near a road or nearby area during the night. We don’t have any parking facility in our area. That is a major issue. We really need a police inspection in our area like night inspection and CCTV etc. We all residents are also ready to help police in this matter. Kindly see attached picturs.

I feel it is better to built special building with multi floor parking as it is in other country's.They have to insist pepole not to park on roads so that they get habituated to use them .

1.Municipalities or govt body has to build up multi story buildings in every area with lift in order to park vehicles easy way with reasonable charges & with electronic locking system. 2. Ministry of Transport & highways dept. to amend motor vehicle act to issue & restrict the license to all age groups. At least should not be issued /permitted the license for the students, sponsor the bicycles to the students & to certain age groups, we can save the fuel, environment, foreign exchange etc.

Some inspecion to be done of roads where most of Car Repair Shops or Car Showrooms are situated. for example SV Road and Milan Subway road near Santacruz(w)--half of the road is encroached by the cars serviced by such shops.

However, for smooth cycling, encroachments of road by parked cars of shop owners, Car Repair shops, Car rental, New Car SHowrooms etc. should be removed. It is observed that there is no traffic law or restriction on these shop owners. Exclusive lane for Cycle to be provided. I am sure many would like to travel by cycle.

There is a small presentation made by my friend for helping Parking Policy in Mumbai. But, it is in pdf format. How can I upload it. Because pdf is not allowed.

Cycle ride to be encouraged for school/college goers and for office goers as well if the same is situated near to one's house. This can be discussed in all schools/colleges. Car pooling or bus service to be made must from Staff Quarters to Office, this will have two way effect--Reduced Traffic as well as NO LATE SITTING at office which is actually COUNTER PRODUCTIVE and COSTLY affair for Office as well as family and self.

devanathan vasudevan. All grounds including private school grounds partially or fully to be utilised to build roof top multi level parking without disturbing the utility of the school or the play ground facility on revenue sharing basis. This would not only provide 24 hours sports facility but also ease the area-wise load on road side parking.. Allow control/maintenance to the owner org. all bldg must have gr floor comp. parking.Levy huge fee for rd side prkg for multi car owners.
