Double-parking and blocked bike and bus lanes cause safety hazards for many drivers and contribute to traffic congestion. "We want New Yorkers to help us pin down double-parking and blocked bus and bike lanes across our city."The new platform lets New Yorkers pin on a map where exactly the problematic area is, and add comments.NYC DOT says they will use this information, along with other data and considerations, to determine where additional loading zones should be located citywide.
"Our new web platform will empower New Yorkers to join the conversation about where problems exist and where we can build new loading zones across the five boroughs."As of March 2023, NYC DOT has installed over 2,000 loading zones since Dec. 24, 2021, and will add at least 500 new loading zones per year in 2023 and 2024 on a rolling basis.
"Double-parking and blocked bike and bus lanes slow our city down and create hazards for our pedestrians and bikers, but strategically using real time consumer feedback and data, we can create better efficiencies around loading zones and improve safety," said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso.
