The National Transport & Transit Agency (Intrant) and the city government of the National District (ADN) are installing signage to implement the Park Right Program (Parqueate Bien) in Naco streets.
The effort seeks to enhance safety for pedestrians, eliminate double parking on congested neighborhood streets and open up the streets for better flow of vehicular traffic. The program began with a pilot of 13 streets and is now being extended to 30 streets in Naco. The Naco district goes between the 27 de Febrero, Abraham Lincoln, Tiradentes and John F. Kennedy. It is a major commercial center as well as an exclusive residential address.
These streets are:
Heriberto Pieter, Orlando Martínez, Licenciado Carlos Sánchez, Padre Fantino Falco, Max Henríquez Ureña and Ingeniero Roberto Pastoriza.
Also Profesor Aliro Paulino, Gilberto Gómez, Tetelo Vargas, Salvador Sturla, Presidente González, Gustavo Mejía Ricart, Rafael A. Sánchez y la calle Cub Scouts, Gracita Álvarez, Manuel Perdomo, doctor Emil Kasse Acta, Luis Alberti, Boy Scouts and Calle Z.
And Doctor Luis Lembert, Del Carmen, Jaycees 72, S. Nolasco, Santa María, General Cambiaso, Alberto Larancuent, Manuel Henríquez and Ingeniero Juan P. Bonilla.
ADN technical staff is also advanced in the drafting of the same plan for the Av. Gustavo Mejía Ricart in all its extension from Av. Núñez de Cáceres to Av. Ortega y Gasset.
For the initial pilot program covering 13 streets, private tow trucks were used to tow irregularly parked vehicles. The cost to retrieve the vehicle: RD$1,000 during the days of the pilot program. Parking violations will soon result in fines and towing charges, considerably raising the cost of parking where banned. It is now said that Digesett is the entity that will be towing the irregularly parked vehicles.
This is a first effort to organize parking in the city. In the past, the city government, Traffic Agency (Digesett) and National Police have just looked the other way as vehicles parked right below No Parking signs.
