PARKING SPACE is a problem not limited to Hubli or Dharwad, but it is prevalent in every developping city of the country. We need to take strict measures in order to deal with situation before it goes out of control.
1. Ensure that all the commercial centres including offices, shopping complexes and cinema halls should have their own parking space.
2. Residential areas should either have parking complex or residences should be created in a manner that they have their own parking space.
The above is not very difficult to achieve but we do not understand why is that our government departments give the commercial hubs the liberty to create complexes without enough parking space.
For eg. There is a commercial complex opposite my colony. They created a parking area in the basement of their complex but very soon it turned into a huge retail house. The plan possible contained the parking space but it no more exists. Such things have to be taken care.
One very important thing is that the people should also be encouraged to park their vehicles in the parking lot and not on the road side which adds to the traffic vows as well.
