PCMC Develop Two Mechanised Car Parking Lots To Solve The Parking ProblemBy sachiv, Section Development
Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will soon develop two mechanised car parking lots to solve the parking problem at its main office building premises.
Speaking to TOI on Wednesday, Subhash Dumbre, additional municipal commissioner, said the mechanised car parking facility will be the first of its kind in the Pimpri-Chinchwad township. It may be noted that the Pune Municipal Corporation has built a mechanised parking lot at Sambhaji park on J.M. road, at an approximate cost of Rs 2 crore, which has been lying unused. The PCMC main office building is located along the Pune-Mumbai highway in Pimpri. Due to increasing vehicles in the township, parking space in the premises has become inadequate. Moreover, since the civic body is extending the main office building, the available open space has reduced considerably. Consequently, civic officials and visitors have to park their vehicles along the compound wall on the highway.
A PCMC engineering department official said one mechanised car parking lot will be in the building premises itself. This one will be built at a cost of Rs 3.33 crore and will accommodate 116 cars. The second parking lot, to be developed outside the building premises, will be on a reserved plot on the other side of the highway. Four towers will be built in the parking lot, each with a capacity to park 34 cars. After the construction, the parking lot will be given out to a private contractor, for a period of five years, to operate and maintain.
The official added that tenders are being invited for both the parking lots and the whole process will take two months. The facility is expected to be operational in a year's time. Moreover, the space that is used for parking corporators' cars, in the main office building premises, will be developed into a two-wheeler parking lot with a capacity of 415 vehicles.
