Tirupati: To resolve the parking vows of four-wheelers in temple city, the Tirupati Smart City Corporation Limited (TSCCL) decided to construct a multi-level parking at a cost of Rs 60 crore on 0.75-acre vacant land near TTD's pilgrim amenities complex, Vishnu Nivasam, here. 

The site is close to railway station in Tirupati. Once completed, cars can be parked on an hourly basis. The TSCCL wants to construct few more multi-level car parking facilities in prime localities. Officials of the Smarty City Corporation have identified 37 bus shelters for modernisation. The bus shelters will have amenities like sitting chairs, drinking water and toilet facilities, LED display for passengers to know arrival and departure timings of buses.  Tenders for the works will be invited very soon.
