We are requesting that NYC DOT evaluate the area near 135-18 Jamaica Avenue for the installation of a commercial loading zone. This location is a restaurant that requires regular commercial service, including scheduled used cooking oil collection. The curb directly in front of the business is designated “No Stopping Anytime,” and the adjacent curb area is a bus stop. As a result, commercial service vehicles have no practical legal loading area near the business. Used cooking oil collection requires a commercial vacuum truck to safely park while a hose is connected to the restaurant’s used cooking oil storage container. The vehicle must remain stationary during the collection process for safety reasons. We respectfully request that NYC DOT review the surrounding curb regulations and consider establishing a designated commercial loading zone nearby. A legal loading area would allow necessary commercial services to be performed safely while reducing illegal stopping, double parking, and interference with bus operations. Thank you for your consideration.

There's almost always delivery trucks and personal cars blocking this bus stop to load at the adjacent shipping center. Please consider putting a loading zone here and relocating the bus stop to in front of the N subway station.

360 East 88 St is a 42 story residential building. East 88 St is narrow, with parking on the north and south sides of street. There is also a Citibike stand in front of the building, further preventing standing space. When vehicles stand in front of building, including emergency vehicles (ambulance, fire engines), delivery trucks, and resident's cars for unloading, they must double park, blocking all cars behind. We would appreciate if a no-parking zone be situated in front of the 360 East 88 St entrance. Thank you

REQUEST FOR LOADING ONLY ZONE Location: In front of Hollis Farmers Market, 192-08 Jamaica Avenue, Hollis, Queens, NY 11423 Dear NYC Department of Transportation, We respectfully request that NYC DOT consider converting approximately 60–70 feet of the existing metered parking directly in front of our grocery store into a “LOADING ONLY” zone. Hollis Farmers Market will serve the surrounding community as a neighborhood supermarket and fresh-food market. Customers will frequently need short-term curb access to pick up groceries, load heavy or multiple shopping bags, assist elderly customers and families, and enter or exit vehicles safely. A designated Loading Only area would also provide short-term access for delivery vans and other vehicles actively loading or unloading. Without an appropriate loading area, vehicles may need to double-park on Jamaica Avenue while customers are loading purchases, which could interfere with traffic and create safety concerns. We are not requesting private or reserved parking for the business. We are requesting a public Loading Only curb regulation that would remain available to the public in accordance with NYC DOT rules. We respectfully ask NYC DOT to evaluate the location and consider: • Approximately 60–70 feet of Loading Only curb space • Directly in front of the grocery store • Loading/unloading access during daytime business hours • Regular metered parking outside the designated loading hours, if feasible We believe this change would improve curb management, reduce double-parking, and provide safer and more convenient access for customers and businesses along Jamaica Avenue. Thank you for your consideration. Hollisfarmers@gmail.com Hollis Farmers Market 192-08 Jamaica Avenue Hollis, Queens, NY 11423
