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

Though this is not for parking policy I would like to suggest to build coastal metro along with coastal road for better public transport as more ppl use rail than road. In the meanwhile pls build a flyover connecting bandra flyover to tulsi pipe road make it one way towards north till haji ali. make haji ali-tardeo-operahouse-babulnath-pedder road-haji ali a ring road. make worli/shivaji park road one way from haji ali to mahim church. call +9820341432 for more

Respected PM,

Maintaining Parking vehicles is a big business. We have to go down for 5 or more levels to keep the cars parking. Based on time charging is done. On surface parking hourly charges will be collected and fines to be imposed for delayed pick ups.

Construction of building is going on without looking into the infrastructure availability especially for movement of vehicles and parking;-there should be exclusive multi layer parking area wherever there is a glut of high rise building also there should be ban on parking both side of roads where ever grater movement of vehicles especially looking into the time of the movement of vehicles.Encroachment of the foot path is the greatest menace for parking of vehicles especially railway station etc

Multi story car park can be built at BEST bus depots starting from Congestion area. BEST can use part of the it, the rest can be used by public

There should be a congestion zone charged for areas where only Taxi's are allowed. This should fund the public transport projects.

All parking facilities (in Government and Private Offices) in Mumbai (where only Taxi's are allowed) should be taken over by Mumbai municipality should be charged. This would lead to use of Public Transport. The funds generated can be used for providing better urban transport.

1.The Only way the Street Motor Vechicle Parking can be made sensible is to have them Underground & Charge them
2.Parking on Streets must not be Allowed & All Malls Must be asked to Allow Motor Vechicle Parking at Monthly/Quarterly/Half Yearly/Yearly ON Fee Based to De Congest the Footpath & Streets.

From my previous comment...
3. Premium Parking spots can be identified at each designed parking areas around the city. A smart card should be provided to a consumer, availing him to enter any premium parking spot. This can be integrated with a mobile application/website, where a user can book 1 unit of parking space for a particular time limit. The card may be used at toll plazas regulated by bmc. Charge of the card can be decided accordingly.

I'm listing out few points that can be added in the proposed policy:
1.Unused area of BEST undertaking bus depots can be used for parking private vehicles. Premium charge can be charged and the fee collected by BEST regulated by BMC.
2. Free spaces in Private owned lands like petrol pumps, malls, etc can be allowed to lease the part of their land for parking purposes by a fee regulated by bmc. This can be availed by paying the fee on monthly basis.
.. To next comment.

Shopping districts, arrange for paid road side parking. If people park in order it will cause less congestion. Put restriction on total businesses operating off large malls to the size of parking they have.
