Under the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), the Mumbai Parking Authority is reportedly planning to work on the parking areas across the city in order to improve the parking infrastructure.
Moreover, in order to make it a collaborative process, the MCGM has planned a consultative process wherein citizens have been asked to share their inputs regarding the same on a form on the official website of MCGM.
The form further provides the option of three languages to select from, namely, English, Hindi and Marathi, through which the user can answer an array of multiple-choice questions regarding parking areas.
Meanwhile, the civic body of Mumbai has been taking strict action against people parking in the no parking zone. Moreover, the traffic police department has also declared a 24-hour ‘no parking’ for heavy vehicles, including luxury buses, in the jurisdictions of eight police stations in South Mumbai, including MRA Marg, Cuffe Parade, Colaba, Azad Maidan, Marine Drive, LT Marg and VP Road.
As a result of the population in Mumbai, there has been a huge increase in the number of vehicles in and around the city. At present, there are around 36 lakh vehicles in the city due to which the main roads and alleys in Mumbai are getting congested. Besides, the issue of parking has also come up as there is no space available for parking of vehicles as it has been observed that the roads are already overcrowded with vehicles. Therefore, this news comes at an opportune time when the city is already struggling with spaces, especially with regards to parking.
