An eco parking lot able to accommodate up to 98 vehicles is nearing completion on the west side of Weitai Building in the Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe district), Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. According to Lei Zheng, the projector director, it will be open for use on Oct 25.
The parking lot will be paved with air and water permeable materials and covered by green plants, which will enable users to enjoy a green parking environment next spring, he added.
There will be two entrances and exits to the parking lot, one each for for vehicles and for people, and a one-way line, said Hu Xiaomin, assistant general manager of Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone Construction & Development Co, the investor of the project.
With the rapid development of the high-speed rail area and an increasing amount of automobiles, the demand for parking is rising.
In order to ease the parking problem, the district has added five free parking lots with more than 500 parking spots, including lots at Weitai Building, the cultural and sports center and Yangcheng Lake Park.
