The Upper West Side Is Trying to Tame Delivery Traffic
Briefly

Microhubs in New York City serve as designated loading zones for delivery services, helping alleviate traffic congestion from traditional delivery methods. These microhubs are part of the Smart Curbs program, which seeks to address the challenges posed by the over 2 million deliveries made daily. They're designed to streamline operations, allowing couriers to load and unload packages without contributing to traffic chaos. The implementation of microhubs also results in fewer instances of double-parking and a less stressful environment for both drivers and delivery personnel.
Robert Harden and Jestina Brasier operate within a microhub, designed to streamline deliveries, reduce street congestion, and create a more organized system for local logistics.
The Smart Curbs program aims to manage the increasing number of deliveries in New York City by establishing designated loading zones that minimize traffic disruptions.
Microhubs, like the one on Amsterdam Avenue, allow delivery couriers to operate more efficiently and mitigate the chaotic double-parking situation plaguing many city streets.
With the microhub in place, there are notably fewer cars piling up, less honking, and a reduction in frustrations among drivers compared to traditional delivery methods.
