The Department of City Planning recognizes the need to address the impacts of unregulated and excessive truck deliveries on city streets.
- Current challenges include trucks coming into neighborhoods more than necessary and leaving from last mile facilities excessively
- The department aims to rationalize deliveries and create flexibility for loading and unloading near delivery destinations
- This approach is intended to manage truck deliveries efficiently, similar to post office operations
- Collaboration with the Department of Transportation is planned to develop proper pickup and delivery solutions as needed

Has DCP gonna consider the impacts of concentrated trucks and deliveries if numerous micro distribution centers open on a single block.

We're experiencing it today on our streetscape, but just in with no regulation and no associated rules.

Trucks are coming into our neighborhoods.

They're coming in more than they need to.

They are leaving from last mile facilities more than they need to.

Rationalizing this and creating the flexibility to enable some thoughtful measure of loading and unloading within the approximate area of their nation makes sense, gives us a tool for that to exist much like a post office and also gives us an opportunity to work with DOT for proper pickup and delivery as needed.
