Summary:
Surat: While the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has earmarked certain main roads for the paid on-street parking under the new parking policy, most of the important roads have been left out. It seems that the urban planners forgot to include this stretch under on-street parking.However, the one-kilometre stretch from new court building to Jain Dehrasar in Athwalines has been earmarked for the on-street parking. We request the urban planners to include this road and other important roads in the city in the on-street parking.”Currently, about 16 routes have been identified under the on-street parking facility in various municipal zones of the city. This spot has a couple of banks, court and residential apartments.President of SGCCI, Hetal Mehta said, “We welcome the on-street parking implemented by the civic body, but they have missed out on the important roads in the city. This will not only ease the traffic flow, but also create traffic sense among the residents.”.
