New York City's Department of Transportation is implementing the installation of three microhubs on the Upper West Side, starting with Amsterdam Avenue and West 85th Street. This initiative, part of a three-year pilot program, aims to alleviate double parking issues and keep large trucks clear of roads for pedestrians and cyclists. Each microhub will be assigned to a specific delivery company, including renowned names like Amazon and UPS, to facilitate efficient offloading. The project is designed to enhance city delivery practices by promoting smaller transport options for the final delivery stages.
"I stand here today to voice my strong support for microhubs," Manhattan Congressman Jerry Nadler said at the press conference. "New York City desperately needs microhubs. Our streets are too congested with truck traffic."
"New Yorkers are receiving more deliveries than ever before, and microhub zones will make them greener and safer by reducing the number of big trucks navigating local streets," said Ydanis Rodriguez, the NYC DOT Commissioner.
