Description

On a regular basis (1-2 times per week) a delivery vehicle will block one or two lanes of traffic during morning rush hour. I drive through, typically around 8:30am and this lane blockage creates traffic back-ups for several blocks (at least back to the Broadway/York intersection.

I would suggest that the City of New Haven implement several measures to alleviate this problem:

1) Do not allow delivery trucks to drop off during rush hour periods

2) On streets with heavy rush-hour traffic volume, implement a no parking ban at street meters (7-9am / 4-6pm). This is something that other cities do with much success.

If 1 and 2 cannot be accomplished, then create a large 'Commercial Loading/Unloading' zone that can accommodate several delivery vehicles
