Since the beginning of this year, Beijing has added 222,000 non-motor vehicle parking spaces on its roads.

China News Service, Beijing, November 13 (Reporter Lu Shaowei) Reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission on the 13th that since this year, Beijing’s static traffic management has adhered to the equal emphasis on new construction and stock revitalization, and the coordination of facility supply and comprehensive management, and has achieved phased results: 222,000 new non-motor vehicle parking spaces have been added on the city’s roads, and 37,000 new residential parking spaces have been added in the central city. The monthly compliance rate for non-motor vehicle parking order has increased from 75% in April to 94% in October, and the travel environment for citizens has continued to improve.

In response to problems such as insufficient parking space for non-motor vehicles and overflow of parking demand, each district adheres to the principle of "demarcating all areas as needed and implementing planning according to needs", and uses multiple channels to make up for the shortcomings of parking facilities. Since the beginning of this year, the city has newly constructed 222,000 non-motor vehicle parking spaces on roads; 86 sites have added more than 33,000 composite parking spaces through "green parking integration"; 98 units such as the Capital Institute of Physical Education and Fuxing Hospital have "opened their doors" and released more than 55,000 internal parking spaces; "one point, one policy" has completed the renovation of 157 key sites.

"Green parking integration" has become a new landscape. The Chaoyang District Chemical Industry Subway Station made overall use of the existing space in the green isolation belt to embed the parking function. By laying small-hole grass planting bricks, reducing the height of the curbs, and replanting green plants on the side of the motorway to build ecological isolation barriers, it promoted floor-to-ceiling green parking integrated parking facilities; Tongzhou District Tuqiao and Linheli Subway Stations added 1,878 non-motor vehicle parking spaces through spaced green plant design to create garden-style parking sites.

"Open the door and enter the hospital" to release hospital resources. Huiwen Middle School renovated the original warehouse and opened an underground bicycle parking lot and a special parking area for electric bicycles on the ground to guide teachers and students to park their vehicles in the school; Luhe Hospital built a double-layer simple self-propelled non-motor vehicle parking facility in the hospital to handle more parking needs within the building's red line.

The construction of independent parking facilities and the integration of parking and charging are being promoted simultaneously. The three-dimensional non-motor vehicle parking buildings at Shahe, Tongzhou Beiguan and Beiyunxi subway stations have been completed and put into operation. Problems such as random parking of non-motor vehicles, occupying roads and blocking intersections around Tongzhou Beiguan subway station have been significantly reduced, and road traffic efficiency and city appearance have been significantly improved. Niujie Subway Station in Xicheng District has 60 "stop-charging" parking spaces and 5 charging and swapping cabinets to meet the charging needs during connected travel; the Taiyang Palace area of ​​Chaoyang District combines charging interfaces with landscape lighting to build 70 charging interfaces to allow residents to standardize parking and convenient charging at their doorsteps.

Since April 1 this year, Beijing has carried out non-motor vehicle parking order inspection and dispatch evaluation, relying on more than 2,100 cameras in the traffic operation monitoring and dispatch system to build a closed loop of "discovery-dispatch-rectification-review". Since the inspections were launched, more than 5,000 inspections have been conducted, covering 1,314 sites. The monthly compliance rate has increased from 75% in April to 94% in October, promoting the transformation of governance from "passive response" to "active governance."

Each district refines management services based on different scenarios. The Chaoyang District Digital Park Industrial Park is divided into a special parking area for takeaway express delivery and a tidal parking area for catering to facilitate riders' quick entry and exit. Fengtai District has added 7 non-motor vehicle parking areas and more than 200 parking spaces next to Hanwei International Plaza, set up a dedicated area for riders and installed rubber slopes. In response to the problem of random parking of shared bicycles on Donghuamen Street and Qianmen Pedestrian Street, transportation, public security and other departments have strengthened information linkage, implemented rotating responsibility and joint operation and maintenance of operating companies, and promptly cleared and organized vehicles.

In addition, the transportation and urban management law enforcement departments simultaneously carried out joint inspections of non-motor vehicle parking facilities to promote the restoration of parking facilities that had been used for other purposes and consolidate the effectiveness of governance.

Since the beginning of this year, Beijing’s motor vehicle parking management has adhered to equal emphasis on new construction and inventory revitalization, and coordinated facility supply and comprehensive management to continue to alleviate residential parking conflicts. As of the end of October, a total of 37,000 new residential parking spaces have been added in the central city, of which 24,800 new potential and 12,200 shared parking spaces have been added at staggered times. The "Action Plan for the Construction and Development of Parking Facilities in the Central City (2024-2026)" has exceeded the completion of both new construction and shared tasks, achieving a successful conclusion of the three-year task.

Three-dimensional capacity increase, expanding space "upward". The parking building of Guomao Century Apartment in Chaoyang District has expanded the original 25 ground parking spaces to 103, enabling automatic car access. The three-dimensional parking building of Wangjing Hospital not only ensures medical parking, but also opens off-peak parking to residents of surrounding old communities to improve the efficiency of facility use.

Parking in the old city gives priority to residents. The three-dimensional parking facility in Daxinkai Hutong, Xicheng District, provides 207 parking spaces. It implements priority for residents and differentiated pricing to alleviate parking problems for residents in the Shichahai area.

On June 30 this year, "One Thing" for the construction and operation of parking facilities was launched on the Beijing Municipal Government Service Network. It integrated scattered service portals and integrated 14 approval service items according to the three stages of planning and construction, renovation and operation, covering the entire process of construction and operation of parking facilities. Through unified entrance, situation guidance and inter-department data sharing, enterprises are encouraged to search for fewer departments and submit less materials. Enterprises can flexibly combine matters according to project progress and facility type, and handle the entire process online. Compared with the original separate handling, related matters have been reduced by 18 times in total, application materials have been reduced from 225 to 126, a reduction of 44%, and the processing time limit has been reduced by 105 days in total, improving construction and operation efficiency. Taking the joint acceptance of construction projects as an example, the required materials were reduced from 110 to 28, and the number of service runs was reduced from 13 to zero. (over)
