The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is set to revive the 'Pay and Park' scheme on Laxmi Road and Airport Road in Pune, according to officials. The aim of the scheme is to curb illegal and undisciplined parking, which has been a significant contributor to traffic congestion in the city. A proposal for the implementation of the scheme has been submitted to the Standing Committee for approval.
If approved, the proposal will be taken up at the upcoming Standing Committee meeting on Thursday, and subsequently, it will be presented to the general body meeting on August 18 for final approval. This move comes as the city continues to grapple with traffic congestion due to narrow roads and an increasing number of vehicles. The PMC and Pune traffic police have been working together to enhance traffic flow and enforce discipline on roads.
The 'Pay and Park' scheme, which was first approved by the PMC general body eight years ago, was initially planned to be introduced on six roads on an experimental basis, including Laxmi Road. However, due to various reasons, only three roads were eventually chosen for the tender process.
