Phnom Penh Governor yesterday
said the municipality plans to cancel old contracts awarding private companies
the right to charge for parking in certain parts of the city, and introduce new
restrictions on roadside parking in a bid to ease traffic for both vehicles and
pedestrians.
The new measures will put an
end to parking on sidewalks, and curb the amount of space occupied by street
vendors. “For contracted parking and anarchic parking along some roads in the
city [where] they charge for parking in front of residents’ houses, the Phnom
Penh Municipality has decided to cancel this. However, the supervisor of a
large office building on Monivong Boulevard whose sidewalks were thick with
cars and SUVs yesterday said she worried that a lack of parking might drive
away business.
A date for implementing the
plan hasn’t been set, but some City Hall officials speaking on condition of
anonymity hinted it could come after the coming municipal, provincial and
district council elections.
