City Council members Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a slew of measures designed to reduce traffic chaos caused by trucks delivering goods purchased online.
One of the moves aims to siphon off dedicated curb space for the likes of Amazon and UPS.
The legislation requires the city Department of Transportation to institute loading-only parking spots in each neighborhood and develop “micro-distribution centers.” The distribution centers would serve to transfer parcels from large trucks to smaller transit vehicles such as cargo e-bikes.
The DOT will have to install five dedicated loading zones per neighborhood per year for a total of 1,500 over three years, according to the legislation.
“We have to recognize the dynamics of our streets and how things have changed, especially when it comes to how people receive their goods — which is mostly through packages and so forth,” said Council Member Antonio Reynoso (D-Brooklyn), the bill’s sponsor.

Well, that will reduce delivery through theft of these fly-by-night delivery guys which means if you want something you will have to go to a warehouse to pick it up yourself.
Gets better folks.
Remember, they want to banish your cars too! So you got to cart it in the subway where a thug can case you and pick it up and walk away.
dystopia is around the corner. thanks dems!
More war on private automobile parking and roadway use for "public benefit"
And who's property do they confiscate to build these hubs?
What will be housed above these hubs ?
This will jack or double the price of shipping to NYC zip codes.
I guess the Idiots think if the inner city criminals and brats like driving ATVs & motorcycles why not give them jobs, insurance and healthcare at it.
Pass the cost of such on to the consumer and people like Amazon with money.
This is Socialism and redistribution of wealth at work, at gunpoint !!!!
