Loading in Travel Lane

04/23/2026 - 01:17

Hi, hope you are doing well. I am writing to formally request the installation of a designated “Truck Loading/Unloading” zone in front of our business, MR. SHYP | Mail Center & Print Shop, located at 300 AVENUE U, BROOKLYN, NY 11223. Our business operates as a multi-carrier shipping and logistics center, handling daily pickups and drop-offs for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and other delivery providers, in addition to servicing Local Small Businesses with Scheduled PACKAGE PICKUP SERVICES. Current Issue: Due to the absence of a designated Loading/Unloading Zone, delivery and pickup trucks are forced to double park or stop in active travel lanes during pickups and drop-offs. This creates: Traffic congestion on the block Obstruction of nearby intersections Safety risks for pedestrians and drivers Complains from nearby businesses Request for you: We respectfully request that NYC DOT conduct a site evaluation and consider installing a designated Truck Loading Zone with appropriate signage to accommodate commercial vehicle activity. We are happy to provide: Photos documenting current conditions Pickup schedules from carriers Additional operational data upon request Thank you for your time and consideration in improving safety, traffic flow, and support for local businesses in our neighborhood.

Double Parking

We are a long standing, long island city based catering company that recently moved into our new location at 40-11 Skillman Ave. We have 2 vehicles. One fits in our garage, the other is a box truck we use for deliveries and park on the street. Throughout the day, we make multiple deliveries and cannot park because UBER EATS is next door and the cars block the driveway as well as the no parking zones. We end up double parking and causing traffic while endangering our team by loading/unloading in the street. If we had a commercial loading zone spot in the vicinity, it would make thing much easier for the flow of traffic and safety of our team.

A Loading Zone sign is not needed there. There are apartment buildings on this block no stores or supermarkets. Please remove this sign.

Double Parking

Cars and school busses are double parked throughout the day blocking off an entire lane blocking traffic in both directions for 3 blocks both ways. This is not the place to double park, we get commercial traffic and it is a busy residential corridor. The busses and cars are left unattended for hours. They need to be ticketed and towed - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Loading in Bus Lane

I am a small business owner located at 59-10 Main Street, and I am reaching out on behalf of the businesses on our block to request the installation of 1–2 loading zone spaces. Currently, the street is limited to metered parking. When all metered spaces are occupied, delivery vehicles are often forced to double park in the bus lane in order to load and unload. This creates unsafe conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and disrupts traffic flow. We respectfully request that DOT consider designating loading zones on our block to improve safety and better accommodate the needs of local businesses. Thank you for your consideration. We would be happy to provide additional information if needed.
