New Delhi: To establish a systematic and integrated parking system in Karol Bagh, Delhi Municipal Corporation plans to develop a parking system that is easily stated and made possible with a cellular application.
At present, such a system is only available in the New Delhi City Council area.
This project will be part of the parking area management plan for Karol Bagh, which was compiled in 2020 after the Ajmat Khan Road was pedestrian in May 2019.
It involves design, development, implementation, operation and maintenance of parking lots through a single concession holder, unlike many Players today.
“Often there are complaints of mismanagement such as parking outside the boundaries that are permitted and haphazard parking.
To avoid such problems and reduce congestion, we want to allocate all sites to one concession holder,” said Sanjay Goel, North corporate commissioner.
Service providers at first will be appointed for five years, which can be extended for two more years.
Various sites in Karol Bagh, including four multilevel parking lots, can accommodate 2,380 cars.
Last week, the corporation conducted a field survey along with the Indian Railway Station Development Corporation (IRSDC), an official said.
“If the IRSDC agrees and we get approval from deliberative wings, it will also develop facilities on Jalan Ajmal Khan and Peripheral Road.
We also coordinate with the Association of Citizens’ welfare for the supply of one parking per household,” Goel added.
The corporation has submitted a proposal request (RFP) before the committee remains.
“We strive to involve government or PSU organizations for the project after the DPR’s approval.
Otherwise we will invite tenders,” said an official.
The project will include marking parking / non-parking areas, installing smart equipment with handheld devices, boom barriers, RFID and four-wheeled parking management, trucks, public transportation and pick-up vehicles.
The proposal also includes real monitoring through CCTV cameras, entry updates and exits, check the availability of slots through the application, and the flexibility of tariffs for peak and non-peak hours.
“Data will be transferred to the central control room and will be analyzed to understand consumer behavior and parking and supply requests,” said an official.
For cars, the corporation has proposed the on-street fee of Rs 40 for the first hour and a 50% increase after each half hour, and Rs 20 per hour and then a hourly increase for off-street facilities.
For two wheels, rates are rs 20 per hour on the road and rs 10 per hour outside the road.
This proposal also includes towing costs for violations – Rs 1,000 for four wheels and three, Rs 500 for two wheels and Rs 2,000 for buses, trucks and matadors.
“This project will allow concession holders to lift vehicles parked with zones without parking and the number of Challhan will be distributed in a certain proportion,” said Himanshu Gupta, Deputy Commissioner of Karol Bagh Zone.
