Chennai is facing one of the worst vehicle parking space problem for years now. The number of vehicles on the road have increased multi-fold. So also the middle income level people owning a vehicle of their choice. Our planners never take any such issues beyond there door step.
The growth and development has been so haphazard that there is no standards followed in what is perceived as standard. The national highways itself are examples of bad planning and execution. In this situation the talk of parking spaces will not be of much use.
For long two decades plans for multi-storey parking facility in areas like Flower Bazaar ,T Nagar etc are being talked about by authorities concerned. There are private companies waiting in wings to make a start. But no one is sure of the nature of parking facility proposed. In Flower Bazaar area of Broadway the facility will cater to only those two wheeler going to shops there. This is too little and too late. Even after providing a multilevel parking site, will the users prefer or willing to ride up and down a few floors to park vehicles ? There is no other option it seems.
