Cali's city council is advancing a project to offer discounts of up to 70% on parking debts for owners of motorcycles and cars held in traffic yards. The initiative aims to ease the congestion of around 36,000 accumulated vehicles. Councilors Marlon Andrés Cubillos Borrero and María del Carmen Londoño Sanna are leading the proposal.
In Cali, traffic yards hold around 36,000 immobilized vehicles, including 22,000 motorcycles and more than 14,000 automobiles. Daily storage fees amount to about 20,000 pesos for motorcycles and 40,000 pesos for cars, posing a significant burden on owners.
Project agreement 084, promoted by councilors Marlon Andrés Cubillos Borrero and María del Carmen Londoño Sanna, proposes discounts of up to 70% on parking debts for motorcycles and 60% for automobiles. "This measure aims to encourage citizens to normalize their situation and remove their vehicles from the yards, thereby reducing existing congestion," stated councilor María del Carmen Londoño Sanna.
Additionally, the proposal includes a scrapping option for those who do not wish to recover their vehicles, allowing space to be freed up in the yards and improving their operations.
