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

Let us wipe off first that mark which nature always puts on the forehead of slave - the stain of jealousy. Be jealousy of none. Be ready to lend a hand to every worker of good. Send good thought for every being in the three words.

In whatever you do for a particular person city or state. Assume the same attitude towards it as you have towards your children. Except nothing in return.

Whatever the policy, ensure that the fire Brigade Engine is freely able to move without obstruction in all the areas, lanes and by-lanes. Not only in Mumbai this should be the policy throughout the nation. In a recent case Fire Brigade could not reach the spot in Kalbadevi in Mumbai.

Mumbai runs through Local trains, we need to start building parking on these stations (on top of them including the tracks) hence utilizing that space, this will also eliminate the road side parking and smooth flow of traffic and even the cabs / Autos should be assigned space so roads have a free movement of vehicles. In terms of cost this will be much more beneficial as no new land needed to be acquired and the network of local trains and station will make life easier for everyone.

I think Mumbai requires a totally INNOVATIVE and Out-of-Box...constructing space without disturbing traffic and inconveniencing public....My suggestion is GO UNDERGROUND...we have enough technology...CREATE UNDERGROUND parking along the ROADs. Use any Govt open/Encroached spaces go 3~4 floors below surface plus up by another 3~4 Floors. Have a competition for BEST DESIGNS SUITABLE FOR MUMBAI..Experiment with this give contracts Worldwide FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER to Indian Engineering Contractors.

We got a rule to give completion certificate for builder if he has given a real parking space for people. Like for business complex, if parking place is not provided then completion certificate is not granted. But all this provision of parking space is done only during documentation but not practically! And surprisingly you can see shops in those "provided parking space"! This should be stopped.

Parking problems can be sorted out to some extent PARTICULARLY during evening/night , if the cars are not taken out all the days by car owners.They should be allotted 3 days a week to take out their cars. In case of emergency OR Otherwise , they should be chraged some amount if they park their cars at any place. Parking time should also be considered strictly.

A seprate parking space should be made on each side of the road,so that the cars can be parked on the roads in a queue.It will also save the money for building the parking plots.

Dear Sir, In my view 1. We should convince people to use more and more public transport. 2. People should be charged heavily for parking anywhere outside their residence. 3. Even and Odd number policy should be followed so people will use their private vehicles on alternate days. 4. For different areas in the city weekly off should be on different days of the week. 5. Public transport should be strengthened so that people will opt for it.
