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

Certain areas such as very busy markets may be made totally vehicle free...these may be few roads which have diversion of traffic through other nearby roads so that the market area does not get jammed. The vehicles can be parked at a distance and people can come to the market area by walking or by rickshaws which also leave them outside the main area.

This shall be very useful for very busy market areas.

Parking policy- is it a joke 12 ? The other areas outside the 2 km belt of residential area should be kept for car parks, public playgrounds, large schools, public recreation areas, cultural centers, theaters, etc... so that within a 15 km radius the whole circle is concentrated.... reducing the need to travel and public transport should be strong...reducing the need of private cars and other vehicles.... the current space allocation should be replaced immediately....to make mumbai livable...end

Parking policy- is it a joke 10 ? The only solution is going in for higher FSI of 10 but with a condition that 3 buildings should come together and make only a residential plot, with enough car parking space for all the members and guests inside the compound, enough area for a green space for water to flow below to mother earth to keep the water table stable, going high by 10 FSI should do wonders and free up space of 3 buildings and only 1 building should be built on 3 building space.....more

Parking policy- is it a joke 9 ? Is there any concept of residential area or commercial area in mumbai, in khar, bandra, suburbs, shops everywhere, in each small lane, why there is an area only for homes, only for shops, only for commercial offices, the layout itself is faulty, the current fsi rules are being misused, SRA additions make life miserable, what good is a policy which is lopsided for politicians and BMC to make money ? Are we milking cows or human beings ? ...more

Parking policy- is it a joke 6 ? Rapid growth of slums, are due to legalisation of slum land and SRA policies, can you imagine, how much money is going to waste, people just keep coming, living in slums, with political help, than moving to new areas, this has left mumbai maimed, these open spaces have been grabbed, captured and used by politicos, upto now..... Slums in Mumbai from the current date of legalisation- should be banned or declared illegal, enough has been done n land grab..more
