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

The space beneath the over-bridges must be used for parking as well..tenders must be called for land where giants like reliance and tata can buy lands and provide rented parking on hourly basis..

Two more cents: 4. Start using RFID chips in all cars. This RFID chips should be encrypted in such a way that only Govt own software and devices should be able to decipher the details. The info stored in RFID should work for parking system automated payments, car identification and automated time calculation. There should be an option available for people to pay by credit card linked to their RFID chip or Parking corp should send bill to user, just like we receive electricity bill.

My two cents: 1. Parking defined on road: Have proper lining on road to mention from where the parking starts, what cars space is available, collection boxes on parking so people can simply pay themselves and based on hours 2. Alternate day double side parking system should be removed, wherever applicable. This creates huge ruckus 3. Road dividers should be flexible (not fixed) for all 4+ lane roads. This would help create emergency parking space by changing the flexible road dividers.

Plan for MLM outside societies and not let any vehicle inside unless required based on approval from authority. Make walking zones, check what all can be made one way, check where all we can have underground parking, eg, below a park. Assign proper place to people to park their vehicles. Create better local transport like metro so that people avoid their vehicles. Make shopping places a traffic free zone and let people walk, provide wheelchairs for old and specially abled people at such places

Also If Any car Passing by Sealink with Minimum 3 or More Passenger should be Charged 25% of Normal sealink charge. Other Amount government should give Subsidy. Which can reduce thousands of Car Traffic & Save lots of Petrol which can help our Economy also. Also there is one more option that person should charge Double if Someone using sealink alone in his car.
