Sector 22-B Chokes: Parking Woes Cripple Businesses
Traders in Chandigarh’s Sector 22-B are battling a severe parking crisis, severely impacting their businesses and customer safety. The area is plagued by chronic overcrowding and haphazard encroachments, leading to dangerous congestion on already poorly maintained roads.
This chaotic situation is driving away customers and posing a significant threat to the smooth functioning of businesses in the sector. Many shopkeepers report a noticeable dip in sales due to the accessibility issues.
The traders have put forward a concrete proposal to alleviate the problem. They suggest utilizing a currently vacant plot of land near Hotel Sunbeam as a dedicated parking area.
Furthermore, they propose relocating the existing taxi stand to a more suitable location to ease the congestion around the main market. This two-pronged approach aims to create a safer and more accessible environment for both shoppers and businesses.
The administration’s response to this pressing issue will be crucial for the economic well-being of Sector 22-B and sets a precedent for addressing similar problems in other commercial hubs across the city. The timely implementation of these suggestions could revitalize the area and prevent further economic losses for local businesses.
