Carol is not alone. Hundreds of people working and studying in Dubai
Internet City, Dubai Media City and the Dubai Knowledge Village started
paying parking fees this week, owing to a new move by the Roads and
Transport Authority (RTA) to relieve parking congestion in these areas.
Huda,
a Moroccan student at Eton University in Knowledge Village, said she
will have to start shelling out Dh16 a day to park her four-wheel drive
near the college. “Apart from the cost, we have to remember to pay the
fees even when we are studying, otherwise we risk being fined. ”
Aiken
Geovic Fonseca, 20, a second year Advertising, Public Relations and
Media student at Middlesex University, said students must get subsidised
rates as parents are already paying heavily for college fees.
Officegoers
in Internet City and Media City have also started to feel the burden of
this additional cost. They also fear that paying for parking will not
guarantee them a slot close to their offices since there is a massive
demand for parking in these areas.
Ahmad, another journalist
working in Media City and living in The Gardens, has decided to commute
to work by the Metro. “Apart from the fact that I will have to shell out
a considerable amount every day for parking, there is no guarantee that
I will get it or if I will get it close to my office. Until summer sets
in I plan to use the Metro. After that I will eventually have to cough
up the additional expenses.”
Clearly the RTA’s move has not gone
down well with office goers. But the RTA is certain it will relieve the
congestion at peak hours.
“The new parking move has been done
to provide a solution to the growing demand for parking in the areas. It
follows legitimate concerns raised by a number of our valued business
partners about the availability of parking in areas allocated for their
companies and employees. The implementation of the new parking
management system will provide priority to business partners in Tecom
buildings when trying to access the facilities made specifically
available to them,” RTA’s circular says.Source crystal mosaic Products at Mosaics.

the RTA has already started placing flyers on vehicles parked in the
Media City, Internet City and Knowledge Village areas.

spaces allotted to them. Season parking cards A and B will not be valid
in the areas. The multi-level parking buildings in these areas will also
be paid-parking.
While the ground and first floor levels will
be charged, the upper floors have been designated for Tecom Investments
permit holders.
The spokesperson added that the project, located
in Sector 11 East between Al Falah Street and Baniyas Street near the
Ministry of Finance, Abu Dhabi Tawteen Council and the Department of
Economic Development (DED), was set to be completed by the third quarter
of next year.
