Plan for multi-storey parking lots in city
The committee members proposed the plan on Tuesday as an effective solution to parking woes in the city.
At a multistoried parking lot, 40 cars can be parked in a 20X30 feet space.
The standing committee has proposed 25 such multistoried parking lots that will be built on a publicprivate partnership.
The BBMP would collaborate with the traffic police to identify roads that need a parking, said H Ravindra,the chairman of the committee.
Initially, the project will be taken up at five places on pilot basis.
The request for proposal has been already been invited from contractors for the same, Ravindra said.
Earlier, Ravindra during the inspection said the road widening work between Summanahalli and NICE Road Junction would begin from Wednesday as property owners have agreed to part with their properties in lieu of TDR.
He has assured them that the BBMP would purchase the TDR on market rate and the width of the road proposed for widening has been reduced to 100 feet from 150 feet to reduce the quantum of land acquisition, he said.
