New parking lots give relief to car owners
Tiruchi- The volume of four wheelers has increased a lot due to attractive exchange mela, hassle free loans and special offers by manufactures in different cities.
But there is always a question related to parking where there is no enough space. Good news here comes for the owners of four wheelers that many parking lots are opening at several parts of the city.
Parking has become a headache for many residents in Tiruchi as many projects are coming up in the areas like Srirangam, Tiruvanaikovil, Thillainagar, Cantonment, Uthamarkoil, and Samayapuram. Now the four wheelers can be parked in open spaces on the road sides. Depending upon the area, these parking lots will have a capacity ranging between 30 to 60 cars.
Vasudevan started this parking facility in March 2012. He used 14,000 square feet area near Mambazha Salai in this regard. During the initial three months the volume of cars increased from five to 60. As there was a good demand, the daily rent was increased from Rs 30 to Rs 35 (Rs 1000 per month).
He is carrying this trade on the lines of insurance firm. He has complete knowledge of provisions of insurance scheme and understands his responsibility and skill required. He holds an authorised license for this trade.
This facility is catering needs of many people in and around Srirangam. The parking lot is not open between 10 pm and 6 pm. This assures the safety of all vehicles as nobody will be allowed to park the vehicle during this period of time. It has become a good option for people who are working at places like Musiri, Thuraiyur or Thottiam. Few taxi drivers also park their vehicles here.
Many apartment residents are contented with the service at parking lot. They prefer walking for a while for the safety of their vehicles. A token is issued for every car which is collected while taking car.
Many private parking lots have been introduced in the areas like Santhukadai, Babu Road, Ponmalaipatti Road, Subramaniapuram, and Sinnakadai street. The monthly fee in areas like Subramaniapuram, Ponmalaipatti road is Rs. 800 while it is Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 for Babu Road and Santhukadai. It has proved to be very helpful to people having shops in these areas and thus can avoid traffic congestion.
City residents also feel that parking lots must also be built at Yanaikulam in Singarathope. It will not only utilise the vacant space but will also help corporation to generate revenue.
