NMC to introduce policy to identify parking spaces, no-parking zones
Nashik: The civic body is drawing up a parking policy for the first time to address parking issues in the city.
Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is expected to introduce the policy within a month.
The policy will help in identifying parking spaces and no parking zones. This initiative will help streamline traffic in the city and curb illegal parking.
Speaking to TOI, a senior NMC official said that the policy will be introduced shortly.
"We have already started preparing a policy with the help of a private agency with expertise in traffic and parking management. We have planned to start the pay-and-park system at 33 parking spaces, including 28 on-street and five off-street parking spaces.
These spaces were earlier identified by the Smart City Corporation. The parking policy will include re-identification of these parking spaces across the city," said the senior NMC official.
Out of the designated parking spaces, 'no parking zones' will be identified. If people park their vehicles in these zones, they will face action by the police authorities. This will help smoothen vehicular traffic in the city, said the NMC official.
NMC is also planning multi-level or mechanical parking at some locations in the city. The parking policy will include identification of places where these projects will be developed, said the official.
Moreover, the policy will include speed-reducing measures for all 52 junctions across the city to prevent mishaps and streamline traffic, he said.
There are plans to start the 'pay-and-park' system in the city at the earliest.
A tender will be floated immediately for deployment of private agencies to operate parking spaces, said the official.
Although the vehicle population in Nashik city is increasing rapidly, there are currently no designated parking spaces, forcing vehicle owners to park on roadside. This has led to traffic jams during peak hours in several parts of old city area.
City residents and social activists have been demanding that the NMC administration make parking spaces operational across the city to ease traffic congestion.
Moreover, the traffic police have also written to the NMC administration several times, requesting that parking spaces be made operational at the earliest.
Earlier in 2020, the agency appointed by the smart city corporation to start 'pay-n-park' across all 33 locations refused to operate the parking spaces, seeking an extension in the contract period by three years, a waiver of Rs 17.5 lakh royalty annually to NMC, and a hike in parking charges. There was no development in the last five years.
Now, the NMC administration has decided to start parking spaces at various locations in the city. These locations will be identified through its parking policy.
