Panvel Civic Body Approves ₹13.20 Crore Parking Facility
Old Panvel has narrow roads and many cars, motorcycles, markets, offices and hospitals.
Many drivers park on the sides of the roads because there are not enough parking spaces.
This makes it harder for traffic and pedestrians to move.
The Panvel Municipal Corporation has approved a new parking building to help solve the problem.
It will be built near Lifeline Hospital and the Panvel bus stand.
Special machines will stack vehicles vertically to save space.
The facility could hold 72 cars and 96 two-wheelers.
The project is expected to cost more than ₹13.20 crore.
Officials hope drivers will use the facility instead of parking on the roads.
Panvel Municipal Corporation approved a ₹13.20 crore mechanised multi-level parking facility near Lifeline Hospital.
The facility is planned on Plot No. 184/1 ‘A’ Part, opposite the Panvel bus stand.
It is expected to accommodate 168 vehicles: 72 cars and 96 two-wheelers.
The project will use vertical rotary parking and tower parking systems.
The facility aims to reduce roadside parking and ease congestion in Old Panvel, especially during festivals and peak shopping periods.
