PANAJI
The implementation of paid parking in the St Inez and Miramar areas will take more time and will now be taken up by the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) only next year (2025).
CCP Mayor, Rohit Monserrate, told The Goan that officials of the civic body are working on fixing the ‘upset value’ of the entire pay-parking tender, which the Corporation is still engaged in.
“Only after the ‘upset value’ is fixed will we tender the pay parking fees collection tender. This is the fourth and final phase of the pay-parking project, and no new areas will be proposed for pay-parking,” Monserrate said, adding that almost every area of the city has a pay-parking facility.
In September, the district magistrate had notified new areas for pay parking that included Miramar Circle, near Sulabh Toilet (Miramar Beach), near Maruti Temple, Miramar, the stretch of road from Caculo Islands near Pharmacy College via St Inez Church up to Culvert near Thomas Garage at St Inez (Mahatma Gandhi road and Vassudev V Dempo road), the stretch of road from St Inez Cemetery upto High Mast near Madhuban building St Inez, Dr Dada Vaidya road, Dr Braganza Pereira road (Municipal Quarters to Kala Academy/D. B. road) and Gama Pinto road (Municipal Quarters to Hotel Palacio).
