The Unexpected Plot Twist in Sadar Bazar: MCG had this cool plan for a big parking lot near the Sadar Bazar post office, but guess what? They had to drop it because there was no space! They wanted three of these fancy parking lots around the busy market to make things less crowded. They talked about it in 2019, but one of them at Kaman Sarai, couldn’t even start because of some things in the way.
Right now, we’re going to figure out how much it’ll cost to do a project based on the available land. At the same time, they’re building a parking lot at Sohna Chowk, and it should be good to go by January 2024, according to the MCG officials.
The head of MCG, Mr. PC Meena, led a meeting on Thursday to check out what’s going on with the corporation’s main projects. In the meeting, they talked about a parking lot near the post office. Turns out, the land there was too expensive, so they decided to ditch the project and look for another plan.
“Let’s speed up the building of those multi-story parking lots to clear up the busy market. We’re going to check how much it’ll cost to make a parking space at Kaman Sarai, making sure the land is free and clear. And hey, the parking lot at Sohna Chowk? It should be all set by January next year, according to the big boss at MCG.”
The Sohna Chowk parking lot is getting a makeover with six floors that can fit 206 cars and 190 two-wheelers. They’re even adding some shops to bring in extra money for the city. Guess what? The whole thing is expected to cost around Rs 54 crore.
Back in September 2019, they said the Kaman Sarai parking project would cost about Rs 101.3 crore, but they’re checking the numbers again. On the flip side, the parking near the Sadar Bazar post office won’t be happening anymore. It was supposed to cost the city Rs 44.6 crore, but they’ve decided to drop that plan.
Originally, the idea was to make these parking spots at Sadar Bazar, Kaman Sarai, and Sohna Chowk pretty tall—10 floors in total, with three underground. They even thought about spicing up the Kaman Sarai one with a movie place, a sports spot, and some cool shops and food places on the fifth floor.
To make parking easy, they planned to use a smart system that tells you which floors have spots open. Picture this: each floor has a screen showing where you can park. Super handy for drivers, right? They had big plans.
