IKEA store offers its parking space to neighboring residents

RESIDENTS living in the vicinity of IKEA’s Xuhui store can park their vehicles at the store’s parking lot and rent bicycles home, the Xuhui District police said on Friday.

In an arrangement worked out between police and multiple authorities in the district, a trial project called “P + B” — “Park and Bike” — has been launched to deal with parking problems at big residential complexes. 

The IKEA store on Caoxi Road is located on the intersection of several major residential complexes in Tianlin and Xujiahui areas.

Almost all of them have parking space problem. From March 17, the IKEA store opened 100 of its 700 parking spaces for residents from 6pm to 9am. The monthly rental fee is 250 yuan, and the parking fee for a night is 20 yuan.

However, some residents said it was a long walk home from IKEA. To meet this discomfort, authorities got Mobike to set up bike parking spots near the furniture store. IKEA said residents have already started to register for the monthly package.

The police said if the trial proves a success, it will be expanded to other subdistricts.
