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

1. In Every Metro, Parking laws shall not be relaxed. Atleast Parking shall be equal to the Built up are or total FSI used. Relaxed parking requirement leads to insufficient parking. 2. each premise, wether be residential or commercial, min. front 5 m shall be kept for Visitor Parking and strickly can not be used by resident/ occupiers of the buildings. 3. Visitor parking of 20% of FSI shall be insisted on Ground floor only. 4. RFID Toll System for entering CBD area during Peak Hours

Major parking problems are near railway stations and office premises, keeping these locations in mind, we can easily see that parking on particular dates and times wont make much of a difference, we need a more solid solution for it. and hence I suggest why not go for underground parking lots under or near by railway stations and working areas. these underground structures can be huge, and can be build under existing structures as well, they only need to be at a relatively safe depth.

There are only two alternates. Building multy tier parking building. Or reducing no. vehicles, which can be done by many people traveling in one vehicle. One rule should be enforced that all organizations having total staff / workers /officers more than say 15 must arrange staff bus / vehicle / SUV as required. This will encourage all to travel by common vehicle simultaneously reducing load on public transport like suburban trains and BEST buses.
