A program designed to curb congestion by banning delivery trucks and cars from parking on certain streets during rush hour is making the problem worse, some say. Lori Bordonaro reports.

If vehicles (private, commercial, whatever) cannot park until a certain time, they will orbit (continue to drive around making traffic worse) until that time. Is that what DOT wants?
This is only going to encourage and enable carbon monoxide emitting idling and the killing of successful and essential small businesses. I wonder if this stretch would have got this initiative if their were more hipshit trendy bars and restaurants.
The only thing that no one can EVER, EVER bring up in the discussion of the causes of traffic congestion is the impact of empty, dedicated, barrier surrounded bike lanes. EVERRRRRRRRR!
The problem is not parking, the problem is double parking. If DOT made these hours commercial parking only with strict enforcement on passenger vehicles and double parking, traffic would flow and businesses would be able to get their deliveries. As far as people shopping, there should be some metered spots added to the cross streets priced high enough to ensure turnover.

dump the uber & lyfts. Stop pretending that the traffic problem isn't an outrageous surplus of black tlc vehicles driving erratically because they need to use gps to get from downtown to uptown or vice versa.

Where exactly is the bike lane causing the traffic problems on Roosevelt?!
NOTHING helps anything in an overdeveloped city!

Someone's had too much to think!
