Several people had complained that owners of private parking lots in the emirate had again increased the fee arbitrarily.
Engineer Mehdi Ali Redha, Director, Road Fees and Parking, RTA, said, “At present, private parking spaces do not fall under the jurisdiction of the RTA, but plans are afoot to include them in the near future and they will be subject to proper inspections.”
“The way private owners are increasing the parking fees is simply unacceptable. They hiked the fees just three months ago,” said Mohammed Jumani, a resident of Deira. He said there were over 30 slots for cars in the private parking area near the Astoria Hotel and people were finding it hard to cope with hike.
“Three months ago they increased the monthly rent from Dh 150 to Dh 200 and now they have increased it to Dh 300. It’s not justified,” said Jumani. “If we protest, we are told to take the cars away. We cannot do this because there is no space anywhere else,” said another resident of the area.
Ansari, a resident of Al Ghubaiba, said, “Parking is a major problem in the city. Earlier, we used to park our car in the private parking area, but those people took advance from us and ran away. There is no one to keep a check on owners of private parking lots.”
“If we park else where, we are fined. The authorities really need to do something,” he added.
Ali Redha said that the Parking Department is working on the development and maintenance of new parking areas. Talking about the installation of parking machines, he said that they will help ease parking in congested areas. “The revenue generated will be used to develop future projects. We have come a long way and have achieved many milestones, and we look forward to keep improving the parking system in the emirate,” he said.
