(Hai Fe) - Three automatic parking facilities will soon be activated in the Captain Steve parking lot in Haifa (Aztmaut 1) which will add close to 50 new parking spaces to the area.
Against the background of the parking crisis that exists in many areas of Haifa, including in the lower city, the Haifa Municipality recently began work on the construction of three automatic parking facilities in the municipal parking lot on Captain Steve Street in the lower city. The construction works, carried out by the "Yefa Nof" company, are expected to continue until the end of next month (March 2024) and when they are finished, 48 parking spaces will be added to the parking lot in the parking lot, which will be used by the crowd of workers and people spending time in the area.
The parking facilities will be operated throughout the week 24/7
The parking facilities, which will be provided by the Smart Parking company, operate according to the "carousel" method, as a kind of "giant wheel", which is able to run the cars sitting each on its own "seat", so that the vehicles hang on top of each other. The new turnstiles will be covered with blue and white decorative covering and will operate throughout the week, 24/7.
A resident who is interested in using the parking facility, will begin the process by pressing a button to issue a personal card, which will include a barcode to be scanned, through which it will be possible to identify his vehicle in the system. After he puts the vehicle into the free carousel seat, he will get out of his vehicle, scan the card issued to him and the seat door will close.
Payment by credit card or parking apps
In order to leave the parking lot, the vehicle owner must first pay for the parking, using a credit card or using the parking apps and then scan the receipt issued for him, which will identify which vehicle it is and remove the carousel seat on which the vehicle is located.
Will the owner of a disabled car be able to park for free in an automatic parking lot as well?
To clear out returns and park in Haifa
In my opinion, a very bad alternative compared to, let's say, more carpooling or increasing public transportation. Probably will never return the investment and no one has looked at other alternatives. Also ugly and expensive and only a few parking spaces. Maybe someone didn't check to the end?
It's just that in every reformed city in the world they put this ugly thing underground.. Only here it will stand like an ugly tombstone
And what about the disabled?
Will the disabled be entitled to free parking as usual throughout the city?
The parking lot itself passed into private hands some time ago. There is no parking space for the disabled that existed before this, it was simply cancelled. The cost of parking has increased. a disgrace Since then the parking lot is almost empty
"There is a Carmelite straight to the downtown, but I don't have a place to park near the Carmelite in Gan Ham"
I suggest giving up the kindergarten and turning it into a huge parking lot.
This is how the traffic jams in the lower city will be solved. People will park in Gan Ham and get off at Carmelit.
The same is also true at Carmel Beach, there is a parking shortage and right next to it there is a boardwalk with sand. As for why the parking lot won't use the boardwalk, at least 300 parking spaces can be added to the boardwalk to make it easier for those who come to the boardwalk to park.
As usual in the Haifa municipality, under any government, choosing the worst possible alternative, while allegedly having an improper relationship with the developer of the facility. The facility will break down a lot because of its complexity combined with the proximity to the sea. A sea of problems... They had to build 2 more floors of a steel structure parking lot on the entire area.
What ugliness!!
Who is the idiot who approved such a thing at the entrance to the city?
Such a facility should be built in the rear, in an internal parking lot, and not at the city gates.
For shame.
I wonder how much parking will cost at this facility.
It is an ugly facility and it has been plagued with operational and maintenance problems.
Why didn't we give a simpler solution by building a parking lot with several floors in the entire area of the existing parking lot and then they would get 3 or 4 times more parking.
I wonder whose idea this distortion was and who approved it.
Where is the city council in this whole project?
good time
A. The facility is the height of a 5-story building - ugly, and is a serious visual hazard to neighboring buildings. This was also commented on in Jerusalem.
No "decoration" hides the ugliness of the facility.
B. The facility requires constant and expensive maintenance in relation to the benefit.
third. As the mayor wrote, this is not a solution to the lack of good public transportation and its prioritization.
Although about 8 years have passed since such solutions were brought to Israel, a tiny number of them have been installed and the majority of the public does not want to do
are used. It is only a gimmick and will remain only a gimmick.
I saw the parking facility. Amazing! what an idea Beauty. Solves parking lot and saves space.
What if my car has a free parking permit throughout Haifa and in parking lots
What about my car, it has a free parking permit throughout Haifa and in parking lots
An uneconomic parking investment, an expensive facility and also expensive parking for what? Park the car in the Matron route and you will arrive with a minimum payment
The facility physically exists. They run it. It is in front of the missile building in the city.
What a talent, Nega Karmi. Taking a picture of something that doesn't exist.
Typing correction
... that several days pass between the reporting date for repair...
And what about handicapped parking?
Will they get the benefit of free parking?
What will happen in the event of a malfunction or power outage?
According to the experience with the charging stations Shipa Nof operates through the company EvEdge, the situation does not look promising in those that have repeated faults that were reported for repair, several days pass and the customer service of EvEdge is "on the face"
