Need for more parking spaces

The dearth of parking space has become a real problem with the growth of multistoried buildings. These same properties would previously be owned by a single occupant. Now, each building comprises of 10-15 flats, whose multiple owners require a large number of vehicle spaces in the parking area.
A lot of cars are also seen to be parked alongside the roads due to insufficient parking spaces, which creates further pressure on the already dense traffic in our cities. I would suggest that vehicles be exempted from having to pay fines or being towed away from in front of school premises during school hours, when the cars have to wait for a while to pick up children from classes. I hope the traffic officials will take this suggestion into consideration.
Meanwhile, we need a greater number of parking spaces across the city, particularly in commercial areas.
