Parking Provision for CBD Area of Pabna Town in Bangladesh

Abstract

Pabna is the most ancient city of Bangladesh having a parking problem in CBD area. This study is mainly focused on the demand and supply of parking system in CBD area. The deficiency of parking supply and illegal occupancy of the traffic lane with parking has become a common practice. An existing parking accommodation, parking demand, parking turnover, average parking duration, parking types and parking index are analyzed on the base of modified patrol survey. The parking space inventory survey helps to identify the present parking spaces, number of parking bays, vacant land for the multistoried parking facility. Both on-street and off-street parking have surveyed to find out the actual measurement of the demand and supply of parking. It should be mentioned that the feasibility of a multistoried parking facility is also proposed to shift the existing on-street parking of CBD.
