Pay-and-park facilities will be set up in 23 corridors across Bengaluru, including stretches in and around the Central Bengaluru district, said M. Maheshwar Rao, Chief Commissioner of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA).

The selected corridors include Commercial Street, Main Guard Cross Road, Dickenson Road, Shankar Mutt Road, St John’s Road, Vani Vilas Road, DVG Road, Planetarium Road, Vasavi Temple Road, and Millers Road, among others.

Mr. Rao said the bids would be opened on Saturday in six packages. He added that the move is aimed at generating revenue for the newly formed city corporations.

“In the first phase, we have called tenders for 23 corridors, and, based on the success of this initiative, we will extend the plan,” he said. The selected corridors fall under the central, south, east and west corporations. The north corporation is also expected to float tenders soon, according to GBA sources.
