Mumbai’s parking puzzle : A Modern Day challenge
In Mumbai’s bustling streets, where towering buildings touch the sky, there’s a ground-level problem we can’t ignore: parking.
Imagine sleek skyscrapers standing tall, but no space allotted for parking. How did this happen?
The Approval Mystery
Before buildings go up, they get approval from the government. But somehow, many get approved without enough parking spots. It’s like building a house without a driveway!
Where to Park?
So, where do people park? Cars fill up roads and even block footpaths meant for walking. It’s a mess, and it makes getting around tough for everyone.
Towed Away in Trouble
To add to the frustration, our cars get towed if we park in the wrong spot. We end up paying hefty fines, despite paying taxes for better infrastructure.
Shouldn’t our taxes cover basic needs like parking, especially near hospitals and residential areas?
Taxed for Troubles
We pay taxes for better roads and city planning. Yet, we end up laughing at the irony or feeling frustrated. Shouldn’t our taxes fix these problems?
Demanding Solutions
We need permanent solutions, like valet services or ensuring every building provides enough parking. Why not follow Chandigarh’s example, where every home has its parking spot and green spaces abound?
A Call for Change
As more buildings and cars crowd our streets, we need better plans. We need space for cars and clear footpaths for walking. It’s time for action, not just talk.
A Brighter Future
As Mumbaikars, we look to our new government for solutions. We voted for change, hoping for a Mumbai where living is easier, where our children grow up with safe streets and accessible homes.
Finding Hope in Chaos
In Mumbai’s chaos, there’s a resilience we all share. Let’s demand better planning and dream of a city where everyone can move freely.
Looking Ahead
Our dream is a better Mumbai, where every building has parking, hospitals have spaces for emergencies, and our streets are safe to walk. Let’s work together for a brighter future, where Mumbai shines as a city we can all be proud of.
