Minsk dwellers to have to buy parking spaces?

The Minsk city authorities prepare the relative document.

As the website golaya-pravda.org learnt from unofficial sources, the Minsk authorities are working on a document that will oblige car owners to have a garage or a parking space.

The measure is supposed to reduce the number of cars in streets and yards. It especially concerns decrepit cars, against which the road police struggle unsuccessfully.

The authorities say that parked cars often block ambulances and fire trucks. Also garbage truck drivers often don't want to drive into yards fearing to damage parked cars.

Motorists often park their cars on lawns.

At the same time, new parking lots are less than 20% full. The city authorities give an example of the Kamarouski Market, where people park cars in nearby yards instead of looking for a place in the almost empty multi-storey parking garage.

The idea is not new. Officials made an attempt to implement it three years ago. This is a new stage of the campaign that, besides other things, may lead to a significant increase in prices of garages and parking spaces.
