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

Sir, Current Maharastra Govt is behaving in the same way of earlier BJP Govt in Karnataka. If it continues it will have the same fate. They need to priorities issues which are need of the people than trivial issues and creating controversies. They need to handle things tactically & strategically on few issues. Such a great verdict may not come again and they have to get into action and start delivering on the promises made to the public. I feel U need to visit the state with your key ministers

instead of Parking Policy efforts should be made to expidite pending public transport project and improve current transportation. difference has been seen after the Mumbai Metro was started

Also we see a number of BEST transport buses having frequency of 30 minutes come together (3-4 buses at a time) which can be avoided

Engaging private towing companies to tow vehicles wrongly parked, is really working. There should be at least 500 towing vehicles should move around 24 hours. If this is practiced seriously for one year, people will realize the problem. Such towed vehicles should be taken out of Mumbai and asked to collect from Panvel.

I don't have much idea about the Mumbai parking conditions but I am really concerned with the patna's parking issue. ThEre is nil parking space in patna and that creates terrific jam scenarios.multilevel parking must get started there as soon as possible.
And also the ministers of patna should take some steps and reduce the number of SUVs'

Should have open tenders for private and government own; vertical parking spaces;
High parking charges for crowded / prime locations should be levied;
New Buildings / Parks / any public gatherings sort of areas without which license and permissions shouldn't be renewed or issued.

Mall should have ample parking space and a proper way to manage traffic and not cause disruption while going in an out of mall during peak timings.
Like community gardens should have community Parking spaces too.

Impact on environment should be overlooked when taking decisions about infrastructure projects. The people of mumbai are also part of environment. The lives of lakhs of mumbaikars is getting damaged by stalling infra projects for saving trees. Trees can b planted elsewhere, infra is a basic necessity which govt need to give mumbaikar for making him capable to earn. Nobody opposes encroachments by cutting trees but infra projects r stalled. Middle class need better infra 2 survive the "rat race"

People need parking because the existing mass public transport systems (on roads) are not punctual and not well connected either. At every railway station and airports if there is a well thought out network of long distance buses that leave at frequent intervals then people would prefer using public transport. Please remove the "NO PARKING" signs that we are seeing all over (which only benefit the vehicle towing companies) and provide speedy, clean, efficient and well connected bus services.
