Among other proposed changes, possession of parking permits may be made mandatory for all vehicles.

In a bid to move from chaotic to organised parking in Bengaluru, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday directed Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar to review and revise the draft Parking Policy 2.0 before submitting it to the cabinet. A senior official from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) told IANS that the draft Parking Policy 2.0 comprises three prominent components — moving from chaotic to organised parking; moving from free parking to paid parking system; and making possession of parking permits mandatory for all existing and new vehicles across the city.

“The remainder of the three is by all accounts the greatest hindrance in executing this approach, as relatively few lawmakers are eager to chomp this silver projectile,” the authority guaranteed.

During the gathering, the authorities notified the CM about the requirement for a leaving strategy as, over the most recent seven years, the quantity of vehicles has multiplied in the city. “We have almost 80 lakh vehicles for a city of 1.2 crore populace. Subsequently, we need a controlling component and tech-based stopping framework to manage traffic just as stopping,” the authority added.

Other than this, Parking Policy 2.0 likewise proposes that the majority of the discount markets need to move from focal territories in the city to fringe regions. “Cargo vehicles should be prohibited from leaving in the city for stacking and dumping during the day. Lorry terminals and warehousing offices should be set up for this,” the authority added.

He further said that the CM has demanded investigating and modifying the draft stopping strategy.

Knowing these suggestions, the BBMP has just taken a lead in working together with a privately owned business to help Bengaluru inhabitants choose a tech-based stopping framework. “We have built up the Namma Bengaluru Smart Parking App and distinguished upwards of 85 streets inside the CBD (Central Business District) region,” the authority said.
