The agency proposes to increase the number of paid parking near high-rise buildings and significantly reduce the number of free ones. The authors of the initiative believe that this will help the development of public transport and reduce the level of motorization.
The Ministry of Construction, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Transport, will adjust the standards for parking spaces. The changes are planned to be approved by the end of 2025; the new rules may come into force at the beginning of 2026.
According to the sales director of the Granel company, Elina Khannanova, flexible parking rationing will allow optimizing the costs of constructing residential complexes. She notes that not all buyers are willing to pay for parking spaces. Other experts interviewed by the newspaper admitted that the demand for housing without parking may decline.
The press service of the Ministry of Transport clarified that the road map provides for an inventory of parking in cities, which, in their opinion, will reduce the load on the roads. The document also indicates that the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to change traffic regulations by May 2025, banning parking in places for charging electric vehicles and limiting parking in residential areas for certain types of transport.
In the summer of 2023, it became known that developers may be required to install charging stations for electric vehicles near residential buildings during their construction. The Ministry of Construction was considering the possibility of allowing the installation of such objects without the consent of homeowners.
