Parking Challenges at JBR: Businesses Frustrated Over Traffic Woes

Overview of the Parking Situation at JBR

People are starting to resent going to the all-popular JBR in Dubai due to the ongoing traffic woes and lack of parking spots.

Impact on Local Businesses

The cafes and restaurants at JBR are also expressing frustration over the parking issue, stating that it is leading to a decline in customer visits.

Proposed Solutions

Mohammed Selim Mohammed, the manager of El Chico Mexican restaurant, suggested a potential solution: free parking for customers where restaurants can simply stamp the parking ticket.

Future Developments

Dubai Properties, the group that owns JBR, has promised improvements. A spokesman stated, "There are development works taking place in JBR which will result in 1,200 underground car-parking spaces. Once the development is complete, there will be far greater availability of parking.” This information was reported by The National newspaper.
