As many as 80 potential sites have been identified for multi-level parking in Chennai. It must be noted that the civic body would take up the project at 38 locations in the phase-1. This integrated parking and commercial development kick-started by the corporation of Chennai has been spoken by many now.
According to an official belonging to the Chennai Corporation, for the preparation of a detailed feasibility report, interested consultants have been invited. The extent of land parcels, road width plus others like existing traffic and parking situation would be reported by the selected consultant.
It must be remembered that in February an announcement was made in the TN state assembly and the project was taken up later. It would be implemented under Smart City Mission. Point is most of the selected 38 locations are situated close to the transport hubs. Off-street parking for 2 Lakh 4-Wheelers and 2 Lakh 2-Wheelers would be created. It is important to note that the metropolis has got a traffic density of 2093 vehicles per km of road.
For the sake of revenue, the commercial spaces belonging to the parking facilities would be rented. To accommodate around 50,000 cars at once, the consultant must prepare a plan for 38 locations. Based on the requirement as above-ground facilities, below-ground facilities, or partially above or below ground, the detailed feasibility report would categorize the facility. Not only that, but the report would also categorize the type of technology to be used such as a conventional ramp, semi-automated mechanized parking, or fully automated mechanized parking.
