The DAB is proposing that Yau Tsim Mong gets more than 200 additional parking spaces.

The suggestion is made in light of the seriousness of illegal parking in the district, which accounts for one third of Hong Kong's parking tickets handed out by the Kowloon West police region last year.

According to the Transport and Logistics Bureau in April, the amount collected from those tickets alone came in at more than HK$260 million.

The party says that the main solution should be more parking spaces and better management of existing ones.

"So our party argues that simply by increasing parking fees may not solve the underlying issue of insufficient supply," said a district council member Benjamin Choi.

"The only long-term and constructive solution is to increase the number of parking spaces...and the worsening traffic congestion problems can then be resolved."

The DAB said the government can make use of part of the area allocated to the Central Kowloon Route project to build a smart underground car park as well as add more parking meters in the area.

It also suggests greater promotion of available spaces through the app HKeMeter.

For instance, there are spaces at West Kowloon Government Offices during non-office hours or around Kowloon Park that the DAB says do not get enough promotion.

"We will follow up on our advice and also arrange meetings with government officials to see how we can push forward with our advice," Choi said.
