In a bid to go beyond merely putting up information posters at local ward offices, the civic body is now tying up with Google to disseminate information on civic amenities in the public domain. People will soon be able to look for the nearest public parking lots and also keep an eye out for ongoing work on bridges and roads.
A team from Google met civic chief Praveen Pardeshi on February 20 to discuss the idea. An official from the Building Proposals Department, who was also present at the meeting, said that the information will be uploaded on the civic body's geographic information system after which it will be added to Google's base map. "There is a lot of information on the BMC's portal that isn't accessible to the public. With Google's help, information related to civic amenities can be given out to the public who can benefit from it," said the official.
