Multistoried Parking Complex To Be Constructed At Udupi

Multistoried Parking Complex To Be Constructed At Udupi

January 27: Two-wheelers and four-wheelers are increasing in Udupi and the sides of major streets being used for parking affecting traffic. The problem of parking is quite acute at City Bus Stand, Service Bus Stand, KSRTC Bus Stand, and Kavi Muddanna Road areas. So much so that even areas marked for parking by the side of widened roads are full. This has led to haphazard parking in many places.
To deal with this the Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) has decided to construct a multistoried parking complex. The Udupi CMC has written to the Chief Engineer, Public Works Department, Mysuru Division, to check the stability of the one storey building belonging to the CMC where the KSRTC bus stand is located here. The CMC had constructed this building on 61 cents of land in the heart of the city about 15 years ago. It houses the bus stand and some shops on the ground floor and more shops on the first floor. The bus stand will shortly be moved to its own new building at Bannanje here. The CMC wants to construct the new multistoried parking complex on this 61 cents of land. The existing building would have to be demolished and a new building would have to be constructed.
Anand Kallolikar, municipal commissioner said that the shops will be accommodated on the ground floor of the proposed new multistoried parking complex. Provisions for the parking of about 300 vehicles – both two and four wheelers will be made after the construction of the new complex which may cost about ₹40 crore.
