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

BEST DRIVERS, SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS, VEHICLE OWNERS are highly stressed out people due to rampant and indiscriminate parking of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and cars,Trucks &buses on the road sides all over Mumbai. Parking of all these vehicles should be banned on main roads so as to ensure smooth flow of traffic, stress free driving for public vehicle drivers and prevention of accidents. Parking could be permitted in lanes, bylanes, and other than main roads. The traffic police needs to be educated.

Building a car park along with 2 wheeler park, People can arrive in their motorbike or cycle and take a car from their. Means twin parking two wheeler and for four wheeler on every floor. this will encourage people to park at multilevel parking and not on roads near them.

There should be multistory car parking on or underground run by government at proper locations all over mumbai... People are willing to pay if it has state of the art security systems like CC TV and security guards...all vehicles should be scanned and then allowed to park.... it should be 24 hours ... So government also will get revenue and people will get secured parking....

No parking should be permitted in all main roads, including motor bikes. Govt. should deploy 500 contract towing service for unauthorized parking. If this is done systematically for six months, there will be no traffic jams. Govt. should acquire dilapidated buildings and convert them to multilevel parking. In south Mumbai and also the western sides, create "SKY PARKING", projecting to the sea/ back waters. Each parking area, should be able to park a minimum of 25000 cars.

Gateway of India is largest visited place in Mumbai. For lack of parking at these areas people are largely inconvinienced and disappointed by forgoing to visit. Under the sea parking facility is an option to carryout the facility quickly and without going through many hurdles except environment clearance.

1) Mumbai has low land area - Under Ground Parking (UGP) is the solution. Suggestions: 1) UGP lots under all main and branch road surfaces on PPP - self financing model & long term revenue concession to PPP partners. Association of residents roads to be one partner. Width of the parking only 2/3rd of the road width. 2) No parking on Roads - stiffer fines 3) UGP under parks, play grounds, schools etc. Once construction over, these to be restored as original parks, play grounds etc VATS

Few roads which are very cluttered should be earmarked as non parking zone and there should be at least penalty of Rs100 for non adherence. In City like London, it is 90£.

All the multy story building must have minimum 3 floors (ground+2)for their parking. At the public place 10-20-30-40-50 floors Parking should be used and the vehicle will be parked on that floors with the help of lift + driver of that parking place.

Namaste! Parking should be pay-per use basis. Sky scrapers having excess place should allow public parking at minimal cost plus assure the people for its security and maintenance. New infrastructures should have public parking space!Eg:Jio Parking Area in BKC.

To identify government properties in the city and then to build multi floor parking complex at various areas.The parking charge should be nominal and 30% of the funds raised to be donated to vikas fund of the nation for the development of the country and rest to the state government as well.
