With each passing day , we keep getting a
new “ clarification “ in respect of the latest “ Pay and Park “ policy of the
BMC
Latest says : Individuals cannot apply for parking spaces
I suppose BMC officers concerned realized that it was almost impossible to
allot parking spaces to individuals , after reading my email :
These clarifications also say :
·
If you live in a
housing society with insufficient parking space, you can get a parking spot
nearby
·
However, the
housing society will have to apply to the civic body asking for for the spot on
a nearby road
·
Priority will be given to buildings which are near the
demarcated parking space
·
If more than one
building wants the space, the civic body will conduct a lottery
·
After a housing society gets a parking space, it will
be its responsibility to allot the space to flat owners and provide a security guard
·
The others will have to park in authorised parking lots nearby
·
The society will
have to submit an application form with residential proof to ward office to get
a parking spot for 12 hours ( 8pm to 8am ) on a yearly permit
·
Under the policy,
each flat owner can be allotted parking space for only one car
·
Civic body will not allow parking on the roads during the day and
charge residents for parking on roads at night
·
Housing societies will
have to ensure that nobody parks in allotted spaces
May be these “
clarifications “ do answer some of the questions that I have raised in my
above-mentioned blog ( sent as email to all concerned officers of BMC )
Except the following :
If this policy is patently “ un-implementable “, then will
it not increase “ corruption “ at each and every step where a HUMAN BEING gets
involved in its “ interpretation “ , before taking a decision ?
Is it at all possible to monitor the correct / appropriate
implementation , on 24 hour basis ?
Will passing on some of the responsibility to the housing
societies, increase or decrease the corruption ?
Is finding of a “
parking space “ , a problem ,only at night ?
Are not most
TRAFFIC JAMS on Mumbai’s 2000 km long roads caused during the DAY , due to
double-parking everywhere , blocking the traffic ?
Has any accurate
estimate been made of how many of Mumbai’s population of 30 lakh vehicles has
parking spaces WITHIN the society compounds ? How many need night time ( and ,
of course , day time ) parking spot on the roads ?
Dear Shri Sanjay
Deshmukh ( Additional
Municipal Commissioner ) :
It is NOT too late to get help from
IIT-Powai , to examine the feasibility of the TECHNICAL SOLUTION proposed in my
blog !
