The HCM City Department of Transport is considering building four smart parking lots, worth VNĐ170 billion (US$7.5 million), in the city’s downtown area, including Lam Sơn Square, 23/9 Park, Tao Dan Park and Le Van Tam Park.
An 18.8-metre, six-storey parking lot will be built at Lam Sơn Square and 23/9 Park, which holds 130 cars each, according to the En-parking Japan Clever System Development Joint-Stock Company.
The parking lot at Lê Văn Tám Park is expected to hold 144 cars, while the one at Tao Đàn Park will accommodate 60 cars.
Module Best Parking and Module Family Parking technologies will be used to make parking more efficient and convenient.
Trần Văn Chính, head of the company, added that, if approved, the project will be implemented under the build-own-operate (BOO) method and is expected to be completed in four to six months.
Due to parking demand, the city has made 42 streets available for car parking.
