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

This parking problem is not only there in Mumbai already there in all metros and spreading to small cities also. main reason is lack of planning while constructing the city and lack of commitment by citizens. what ever we do to reduce the traffic and other problems is a temporary solution until and unless we stop the migration of people from villages to towns and cities.

If we charge parking charges, it will lead to more corruption and bribery and ultimately the small vendors will be effected. Bring stringent policies and give approvals to the commercial and residential buildings only if they have enough parking space.

Impose tax on entering city on weekdays and weekends, relax on weekdays, charge more on weekends. London has same policy, this discourages people crowding city on weekends. Encourage public transport, de-centralize govt offices, move them to newer places like Panvel, CBD Belapur, Thane.

Then create multi-level parking, parking on sea by raising a platform in sea water is a better idea, which will save land for other work. Sea parking can be done on places like choupatti, Gateway of India. etc

First of all, parking on roads should strictly be banned, I have seen people park vehicles permanently on road, then where is road left for driving? You roam around bylanes of any place, be it Nerul, Khargar, or Thane Colaba, roads have become narrower, result, more traffic jams and more wastage of fuel which is quite costly for India. Secondly all road side hawkers should be banned, I recently went to Srilanka, and surprised to see no single Footpath vendor, even in remote village.

we still collect parking charges by deputing a person. World over the parking charges need to be paid though automated system and also inculcate honesty in the citizens. Why not use a system which is fully tested and accepted.
