Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35268, member: 636"] St. Petersburg's municipal government is considering transferring paid parking management to private entities. The Transport Committee has submitted a draft amendment for review, proposing to expand who can create and manage paid parking spaces. Currently, only government agencies or public-private partnership (PPP) partners can manage parking lots. The proposed changes would allow concessionaires to operate and profit from parking facilities. The city currently has 47,900 paid parking spaces. Since the beginning of the year, St. Petersburg has earned over 24 million rubles from parking lots. Parking rule violations have generated an additional 3.9 billion rubles for the city's treasury. The concept of privatizing parking management first emerged in St. Petersburg back in 2017. [/QUOTE]
