State Duma deputies Igor Lebedev and Yaroslav Nilov (both from LDPR) sent an appeal (“News”) Vice mayor, who heads the Department of transport, Maxim Liksutov and the head of the Moscow Department of housing and communal services and improvement Alexander Samsonov does.
MPs write that the drivers in Moscow in January was faced with the problem of snowdrifts on paid Parking spaces, which it was impossible to Park. However, many vehicle owners have bought season tickets for Parking (annual amount can reach up to 250 thousand rubles) and resident permits, but the city did not provide opportunities to use existing paid Parking spaces.
This situation, according to lawmakers, can be interpreted as a low-quality providing paid services. MPs demand that the city authorities explained, who should be responsible for reducing the number of suitable paid Parking spaces, and considered the question of compensation for motorists who paid for Parking permits, but have not yet been able to use it in full.
— Snow in Moscow clean bad. If the Central streets are still clean, then the rest, where is the majority of paid Parking spaces, in the snow rubble. People can’t enter, not to leave, the car stalled — it creates the risk of an accident. When people sell season tickets and resident Parking permits — said Igor Lebedev. — Traffic service can always find a reason why they are unable to clean these areas, although really just didn’t want to work. If MADI and the Diptrans Moscow take money from people for Parking, then it is their job to provide the citizen, paid Parking, possibility to Park the car.
Today the city authorities offer different payment options for paid Parking. Along with an hourly wage citizens can purchase season tickets for a period of one month and one year. The cost of annual season tickets depending on desired zones of paid Parking can range from 80 thousand to 250 thousand rubles. For 250 thousand rubles, you can Park in all the Metropolitan areas of paid Parking.
In addition, there are resident permits, which can acquire the Muscovites. They cost 3 thousand rubles a year and are entitled to Park in the paid Parking zone within the administrative area of Moscow, on the territory of which is located the dwelling of a resident, from 20.00 to 8.00. On the question of what to do with the car in the daytime, the city authorities provided to reflect by the residents.
The situation with snow removal, according to Yaroslav Nilova, has become another headache for motorists.
— It seems that when the snow in Moscow alone was raking the snow on the sidewalks, and others after them — again on the roadway. A lot of complaints we receive that shoveling even paid Parking. And the question is: what do they achieve this? Massive violations of catch for tow trucks? Is it fair to sell a service whose implementation is impossible? So, we wonder whether the authorities somehow to compensate for this circumstance, he explained. — Many were forced to look for other paid Parking places or Parking under the sign “Stopping is prohibited”, and their car is simply evacuated.
26 December 2015, the Moscow government greatly expanded the area of paid Parking in the capital city, typing in the most remote residential areas of the city (sections 296): Perov, Yasenevo, Shchukino, Moscow, Teply Stan, Marino and many others. Before he could recover from the news about the introduction of paid Parking near the house, some residents of newly paid parkson a few days later watched intended for paid Parking turn into the drifts that cars can be set up only with the help of special equipment.
In the Department of transportation and development of road transport infrastructure, which deals with the issues of paid Parking and the regulation of avtotrafik in the city, said that the issue of snowed-up paid Parking spaces, is inaccessible for motorists, not a “zone of responsibility of the Department”.
— The issues of cleaning the city, including streets, are the work of another specialized Agency of the city government. In this regard, please address the request to the Department of housing and urban development of Moscow, — said the press service of the diptrans.
To receive the operative comment from the Department of housing and urban development of Moscow failed.
Coordinator of the “Society of blue buckets” Peter Shkumatov considers that the citizens who are faced with the problem of the unavailability of paid Parking, can go to court, but the likelihood of satisfaction of their claims is minimal. Our legislation, according to human rights, built in such a way that inadequate provision of public paid services no one in particular is not responsible.
The service of providing paid Parking we have built the curve of the scheme: whether it is a service or gathering. On the one hand, they position it as a service, but the service is not called, because to them it is not profitable. If paid Parking will officially acquire the status of services, it will need to have a specific description, quality standards and would fall under the law on protection of consumer rights, then compensation for her part-provision will be required by law, he said. But I must say that the Duma lobby, which now supports a legal vacuum surrounding this issue, working in the interests of the Moscow mayor’s office, will try very hard not to allow clarifying this issue.
It is worth noting that on the official website of the Moscow Parking noted that Parking passes are intended primarily for frequent users services of paid Parking.
Also Peter Shkumatov noted that not rasciesa 2-3 weeks snow piles on the sidewalks and Parking areas are related to the fact that the authorities are using outdated technology to solve this problem.
— In Moscow there are more than 30 snow-melting points, where dumped snow and are often not enough, and the snow piles continue to wait for weeks for their turn, while the mobile snow-melting points would work more efficiently, he concluded.
