A total of 345 car parking spaces and 573 motorcycle parking spaces have been cancelled along the segment between Meishuguan Road and Dashun Road (C21-C32) of the Kaohsiung Circular Light Rail (KLCR) Phase I Investigations showed that there are 45 public and private car parks (including 29 approved or built under the successful guidance of TBKC since 2016 according to the “Strategy for Improving Parking Supply Along KLCR” and 6 completed and started service in February 2021 according to the “School Parking Space Planning and Management Policy” planned and implemented by TBKC) within 200m radius from the segment supplying a total of 6,465 parking spaces for small vehicles. As about 2,000 parking spaces are still available during rush hours, there are sufficient parking for small vehicles. In addition, the cancelled motorcycle parking spaces can be compensated by building new spaces along the segment and on the intersecting roads.
In the future, TBKC will continue to increase parking supply (estimated with 2,994 parking spaces for small vehicles in total) along the segment through short-, medium- and long-term plans.
