To address chronic traffic congestion in the heritage zone of Lucknow, the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is set to construct a parking facility near Rumi Gate in Hussainabad. This facility will have a capacity of 450 vehicles, including 15 buses, 150 four-wheelers, and 300 two-wheelers. The project, estimated to cost ₹3 crore (approximately $360,000 USD), aims to mitigate illegal roadside parking that disrupts traffic flow, particularly affecting tourists visiting landmarks like the Bara Imambara and the Clock Tower. The LDA will also create a 14-metre-wide entry and exit corridor to facilitate smooth vehicular movement and a designated pedestrian exit through Musafirkhana Gate to enhance safety. Additionally, another parking area of 700 square metres will be developed behind the food court near the under-construction library. The LDA is also focusing on improving local tourism with the upcoming operationalization of 'Lazeez Gali,' a food street featuring 15 kiosks.
