The loading zone currently on Forsyth St. at the corner of Delancey (between Delancey and Rivington) should be moved around the corner to Delancey St at the corner of Forsyth (between Eldridge and Forsyth Sts). The large truck traffic and concentration of delivery workers on the sidewalk on Forsyth St. during deliveries creates an excess of noise, emissions (from trucks left idling), and crowding on the sidewalk that are disruptive to residents. The delivery trucks are wide enough to potentially obstruct the movement of ambulances onto Forsyth St, where there is a medical facility with an ambulance bay. Delancey St. is a commercial thoroughfare with a very wide sidewalk where noise, emissions, and sidewalk crowding will be far less disruptive to the community, and add needed commercial activity in a stretch of sidewalk that is poorly-lit, mostly empty, and invites activities such as drug use and sidewalk sleeping. The business that the loading zone on Forsyth St. currently serves has doors that open onto Delancey, so its operations would not be disrupted by shifting the loading zone location from Forsyth to Delancey

A proposed Last Mile Delivery Site: at Forsyth between Rivington and Delancey Is now an Amazon site with no notice to the neighborhood having been given the site by a small start-up (JOCO) to AMAZON. Amazon never went before the community board 3 and This site is across the street from a low-income senior nutrition center AND a Park in an Environmental Justice Zone. We have many homeless shelters and migrant shelters alongside this park, we span Chinatown, and Latina/o communities and have a large African Heritage shelter community. Amazon sites 70% of its facilities located largely in low-income neighborhoods of color -Consumer Reports http://bit.ly/3Wx2YyS At the very least it should only have unloading on Delancey Street NOT on a small side street (Forsyth) across from vulnerable people. Questions about equal distribution Concerns over burden sharing Negative impacts on local communities: Destruction of Historic Neighborhoods Loss of traditional shopping Few and low-paying jobs Noise and Air Pollution Decreased Quality of Life Increased traffic leads into an increased risk of pedestrians getting harmed in collisions. E-commerce last-mile warehouses exacerbate pre-existing issues by locating in areas with higher congestion and asthma rates. E-commerce presents new problems by causing traffic by unloading in the middle of streets, locating and routing in ways counter to NYC's design, and by their rapid overturn in product. Most importantly these burdens are not shared evenly across New York City. We think that our NYCC and Public Advocate Last Mile Coaltion weaks to this project that would work better. Including these prohibitions Last-mile zoning text amendment – The special permit would set forth the following conditions: -Any last-mile warehouse must be at least 1,000 feet from any school, park, nursing home, or public housing development. We have all of these 1000 feet is approximately 3.85 blocks -Last-mile warehouses must be at least 1,000 feet from another such facility. -Last-mile warehouses located in what’s called a Significant Maritime Industrial Area, which are designated waterfront areas, must conduct 80 percent of deliveries by marine transportation (see map). More to say but a start... Thank you.

You need to put a loading bay outside 499 President St in Brooklyn, 11215. Since the new building at this address was completed there is a horrendous problem of double parking by people moving in, taxis and e-commerce vehicles like Amazon trucks. It's made worse because of all the construction at the end of the street as trucks cannot get around double parked vehicles. A loading bay next to the fire hydrant on the North side of the street would solve a lot of these problems. It is also next to the door that 499 President uses to bring out the garbage, meaning the sanitation truck will have a lot of room to park up on trash days. Please, please, please can you make this happen soon. Our lives on this street have become a misery of honking, double parking and near fights between truck drivers since this building opened.

Dear NYC DOT Team, I am writing on behalf of citizenM New York times square Hotel, located at 218 W 50th St, New York, NY 10019, to formally request the installation of a designated hotel loading zone in front of our property. Our hotel serves a high volume of guests daily, many of whom arrive via taxis, rideshare services, and shuttle vans. Currently, the lack of a designated loading area results in frequent double-parking, congestion, and safety concerns for both pedestrians and drivers. We believe a hotel loading zone would: • Improve traffic flow on 50th St. • Enhance pedestrian safety • Support ADA accessibility for guests with mobility needs • Reduce illegal standing and double-parking incidents We propose the loading zone be located at 218 W 50st TH, and suggest operating hours of  7 AM – 7 PM, Monday to Saturday, in line with DOT standards. We are happy to provide additional documentation, photos, or meet with DOT representatives to discuss this request further. Thank you for your consideration and for your continued efforts to improve New York City’s streetscape. Sincerely, Diego Reyes Maintenance Manager Sr, citizenM Hotels Phone: 256-749-1855 Email: Reyes-Diego1@Aramark.com

Loading in Travel Lane

I strongly urge the Department of Transportation to approve a dedicated commercial loading zone on 97th Place between Christie Avenue and 55th Avenue in Corona. This stretch of road is a daily traffic nightmare. The constant need for large commercial vehicles to double-park to load and unload goods blocks an entire lane, creating an extremely dangerous situation. This persistent double-parking is: A major public safety hazard for pedestrians, residents, and especially cyclists who are forced into live traffic. Causing severe congestion and unpredictable traffic flow, making driving here hazardous. Impeding access for emergency vehicles, which is an unacceptable risk. Installing a commercial loading zone is not a convenience—it's an essential infrastructure fix that will immediately restore traffic capacity, improve street safety, and enhance the quality of life for everyone who uses this street. Please review and approve this request urgently.

Between 6th and 8th Streets on 8th Avenue in Park Slope, every morning during rush hour, there is so much double and triple parking in front of St Savior's elementary school due to parents dropping off their kids. It's not safe for the drivers or the pedestrians or all the kids trying to get to school at that time. Vehicles weave around the double and triple parked cars. At times, the parents don't leave enough space for average-sized vehicles to get through. It's been going on for years but the increase in aggressive driving in general on 8th avenue and the increase in double-parking in general between 15th street and Union St on 8th Avenue is making it markedly worse. Vehicles get backed up in front of St Saviors and then back up for a few blocks, then after they squeeze through, they tend to run red lights and drive way over the speed limit, creating a dangerous situation from 7th St up through 1st street. The number of times I've seen drivers speed through the red lights with pedestrians about to step into the crosswalk is terrifying. There are so many children walking to school at that time. Please designate parking for those St Savior parents or crackdown on their double/triple and one time, quadruple parking. It'll make the streets safer for pedestrians and drivers alike. Added bonus, it will allow the people desperately trying to get to Methodist hospital (via 6th street) to get there without delay or incident.
