The New York City Council has just passed a bill to establish at least three dedicated truck parking areas throughout the city.
According to the council’s website, “This bill would require an agency or office designated by the mayor to, by Dec. 31, 2025, identify no less than three locations where off-street parking for tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles would be feasible and appropriate, and to offer parking at such locations. Such locations could include real property owned by the city or by other governmental entities.”
Exempting parked delivery trucks from a new bill, the council tackles the rising influx of trucks due to increased e-commerce. Last August, the city cracked down on illegally parked trucks, issuing hundreds of summonses and clamping and towing vehicles.
