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

we must create transport yards for every 5 sq.km area of mumbai to parks heavy transport vehicles like trucks & buses to clear our roads in the city. presently whole of mumbai roads are converted into bus & truck parking lanes. These parking transport yards must have multi stage auto parking facility & be created with public private funding.

Private buses carrying outstation passengers should be allotted specific spots for pick up of passengers. Today we find these buses blocking traffic all over the city. Any violation of the rule should be severely punished. Parking lots should be built under flyovers. All cars should be thoroughly screened as done in 5 star hotels.

Long term solution is to create/develop new modern/smart cities fast. Lets further develop Nasik, Aurangabad, Solapur, Nanded, Kolhapur, Akola, Amravati etc and bring them to at least the level of Pune if not Mumbai. It will help spread the population and traffic. Relief from parking issues will simply come as a by-product. Create more airports and increase international flights from other cities.

Signs like below can be implemented Red means do not stop or park here. Green indicates parking is allowed for a limited time. Check the parking signs to verify the time allowed. Blue means disabled parking only. Disabled drivers must display a placard or have a special license plate to park in these designated areas. White is a passenger loading/unloading zone (or for dropping off mail). Yellow is also a loading/unloading zone – generally for merchandise. For this and a white curb, the driver

Every building has to provide parking facilities to the visitors. Roads should be clear enough for the commuters Unauthorised parking and loading unloading should be prohibited There should be strong punishment for not obeying the road and parking Sign boards should be clear Need to have education for the public

Parking Rules to be changed. Instead of parking requirements in new buildings based on carpet area, the rule should be parking requirement "per bed room." For 1BHK Flat parking requirement should be 1. For 2BHK Flat it should be 2. For 3BHK Flat it should be 3 and so on. As a result of this change in rule more parking spaces will be planned inside the Building and would reduce parking on street considerably.

my previous post for "Driving Safety Education School" like USA can be started with administrative order and to be ready by 15th January as it will be run in Municipal Schools at night time. As we make money, school can be repaired. Hugh employment is created. Penalty increase will be deterrent. Corruption reduce as class NGO will stand with traffic cops and will see that people attend classes. A white wall and projector needed to show road safety educational movies. No educated teacher needed.
