This block of Cypress Avenue has no loading regulation, and commercial delivery vehicles serving the businesses at this corner double-park in the travel lane almost daily. Cypress Avenue is a two-way through street, so a double-parked truck forces moving traffic to cross the yellow line into oncoming traffic right at the signalized crosswalk — a serious hazard for pedestrians and drivers alike. Deliveries here are frequent and scheduled throughout the day, and drivers have no legal curb to pull into, so they stop in the lane. A "No Standing — Trucks Loading Only" zone of roughly 40–50 feet on the west curb at this corner would move active loading out of the moving lane, clear the sightline at the crosswalk, and end the recurring double-parking. A Mon–Sat daytime restriction (e.g., 7 AM–7 PM) would address the delivery window while leaving the curb open otherwise. I can provide dated photographs of the double-parking condition on request.

Constant loading and unloading, obstructions/hazard in the bike lanes etc. The bike lane in this area is never clear. Today someone rolled a tire into me from the sidewalk.

We request that DOT designate the parking spaces in front of 537 West 59th Street in Manhattan a truck loading zone. The newly opened women’s shelter in that location receives a significant amount of deliveries via truck for its kitchen and is also frequently visited by emergency medical services. In that location West 59th is a one way street and these deliveries and ambulance visits end up blocking traffic and/or neighboring driveways. A loading zone in this location would significantly improve traffic flow on the block. Thank you.

nonstop double parking in the bike lane and travel lane. cyclists forced onto sidewalk. emergency vehicle access obstructed. clinton street desperately needs a loading zone

I am submitting this request on behalf of Canal Loft Hotel, located at 94 Canal Street, New York, NY 10002. Our hotel has been significantly impacted by the neighboring business, which regularly uses the curb lane, bicycle lane, sidewalk, and even part of the travel lane to store merchandise for its resale operation. As shown in the attached photo, large quantities of pallets, boxes, and products are left outside throughout the year, often blocking our hotel entrance and reducing the visibility of our business from the street. This ongoing obstruction creates several serious issues: Guests arriving with luggage have difficulty accessing the hotel entrance. Taxis, rideshare vehicles, and shuttle services are forced to stop in the travel lane because the curb is occupied. The bicycle lane and portions of the sidewalk are frequently obstructed, creating safety hazards for cyclists and pedestrians. The blocked frontage negatively affects the appearance of the hotel and has an adverse impact on our business operations and guest experience. We respectfully request that NYC DOT evaluate this location for a designated hotel loading zone in front of 94 Canal Street. A loading zone would provide a safe and legal area for guest pick-up, drop-off, and luggage loading while helping reduce congestion, discourage illegal curb use, and improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety. Photographs documenting the ongoing obstruction are available and can be provided upon request. If you type the hotel address in google map, you can see how blocked the area is. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

The comments from 2023 and 2024 are still valid. There are no loading zones so curb parking is treated as de facto long term storage for vehicles, forcing delivery drivers and taxis to double park. this is still an issue in 2026, and the issue extends the length of Center Blvd
