In a move to address public parking shortages, Subang Jaya city council (MBSJ) is planning to increase the number of parking bays in its administrative area by a minimum of 2% each year. This will see an addition of around 1,000 parking lots annually, The Star reports.
According to Subang Jaya mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin, the additional bays are expected to come from commercial areas within new developments. He added that a review on the percentage of increase would be carried out every two years.
He added that MBSJ had proposed that the annual revenue target for parking fee collection be set with a minimum increase of 2% from the previous year’s target, but assured users that the move would not affect parking charges and that there would be no increase in parking rates.
