Determined not to let the authorities create a parking lot under a JVPD garden, residents have now given a comprehensive plan of five alternative locations to the local MLA. The plan was made by them with architects. Locals said the five plots have no reservation conflicts and can together generate underground and multilevel parking for 2,500 to 3,000 cars. As per the BMC`s plan, the underground, multilevel parking below Pushpa Narsee Park can accommodate up to 500 vehicles.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), due to demands from local MLAs, had proposed to build underground parking lots at Pushpa Narsee Park at JVPD Scheme in Juhu as a solution to rampant parking on roads. Local residents have protested against the idea, saying the civic body will chop trees for the project. They also highlighted concerns about flooding.
