Double parking of commercial vehicles and passenger drop-offs at 16 Dupont St. residential building.
Manage a multi-family building with an indoor garage. Chronic double parking a major issue as they block our driveway. Many 311 reports are in vain as the vehicles are move prior to police arriving,
Manage a multi-family building with a parking garage and having a chronic double-parking issue where the driveway is constantly blocked. In a few instances, causing altercations. Calling 311 does not help, as the vehicles are moved by the time the police arrive.
Loading in one way street blocking bike lane and all traffic
Delivery vehicles are forced to mount the curb since loading zone is tiny and almost always blocked by parked vehicles. With new tree pits coming, and fragility of existing tree pits with vehicles parked close to them / on them, DOT should expand loading only zone to two on the block.
The Loading Only area created midblock is routinely blocked by parked vehicles, some with bogus placards placed on their dashboard to evade tickets. Besides, since it’s a heavily populated block, loading zones should be created at the start of the block as well, in addition to the one midblock — this is where delivery vehicles usually stop, mounted to the sidewalk across the loading zone since the small zone is blocked (as noted above). When it’s available, it’s too small for a delivery truck to move in and out of easily, so it should be lengthened.
Target loading truck parked obstructing entire bike lane.
Significantly improving soft access to and from vehicles for citizens Allowing vehicles to pull in from the roadway when loading/unloading, which will eliminate verbal altercations with other frustrated drivers. Reduce noise pollution generated from frustrated drivers honking their horns. Eliminate the need to squeeze between tightly parked vehicles to access rideshares / taxis. Reduce roadway blockages for emergency vehicles.
Dear NYC Department of Transportation, I am writing to request the establishment of a Neighborhood Loading Zone directly in front of 205 East 85th Street (The Brompton), between Third and Second Avenue. This location presents ongoing safety, accessibility, and traffic-flow concerns due to the unique conditions on the block. Vehicles regularly stop in the travel lane for passenger pick-ups, drop-offs, deliveries, and accessibility transportation because there is no clearly designated curb space available directly in front of the building entrance. The curb is typically occupied bumper-to-bumper by parked vehicles, making safe curb access extremely difficult. As a result, passengers are frequently forced to enter or exit vehicles directly from the roadway. This creates unsafe conditions for residents, visitors, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike, particularly for elderly individuals, people with disabilities, wheelchair users, and those utilizing medical or accessibility transportation services. The issue is compounded by several site-specific conditions: • A CitiBike station and active bike lane are located immediately adjacent to the building, increasing the risk of conflicts between cyclists and vehicles stopping in active traffic lanes.• The block experiences frequent congestion caused by double parking, rideshare activity, deliveries, and passenger loading.• Vehicles stopping in traffic to load or unload often create backups, excessive honking, reduced visibility, and hazardous roadway conditions.• FDNY Engine 22 and Ladder 13 operate nearby, and congestion on this block can interfere with emergency vehicle movement when returning westbound to their station.• Building staff have limited visibility to vehicles stopping east of the entrance, creating operational and security concerns. A Neighborhood Loading Zone would provide a practical and targeted solution by creating a clearly designated curb space for active loading and unloading, taxi and car-service pick-up/drop-off, accessibility transportation, and commercial deliveries. This would reduce double parking, improve traffic flow, enhance cyclist and pedestrian safety, and provide safer access for residents and visitors. Importantly, this request is not intended as a private convenience for a single building, but rather as a safety and traffic-management improvement for the block and surrounding neighborhood. The designation would help organize existing activity that is already occurring daily and would reduce conflicts between parked vehicles, moving traffic, cyclists, emergency vehicles, and pedestrians. Given the existing traffic studies and prior discussions regarding this location, we respectfully request DOT’s consideration and support for implementing a Neighborhood Loading Zone at this site. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
