Amidst the city’s continuing parking woes, the Mysore City Corporation is exploring alternatives to ease vexing parking issues as its plan of introducing pay and park scheme in Mysuru’s key commercial hubs received a flak from a section of the people. The MCC has put the pay and park scheme on hold for the time being though it has not shelved the plan.
As its plan of establishing of a multilevel parking facility on its 1.5-acre land in front of the sub-urban bus stand was dropped for technical reasons in view of a storm water drain passing through the land, the MCC has identified a land behind the Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry off Vinoba Road in the heart of the city for the parking project.
Mayor Shivakumar, Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra and MCC Commissioner Lakshmikanth Reddy had recently inspected the land following a suggestion from the Mayor, who has proposed a larger plan for easing parking woes in the central business district.
