New Smart Curb' program on Upper West Side aims to better use street-edge spaces for bikes, trucks and more | amNewYork
Briefly

Mayor Meera Joshi emphasized the new program, stating, "With the Smart Curbs program, we are prioritizing uses based on community needs, not just first-come-first-serve." This reflects a shift towards a more organized and needs-based approach to curb usage.
The NYC Department of Transportation announced that the pilot will include 30 new bike corrals and six new commercial loading zones, aimed at improving safety and reducing congestion.
The new initiative will involve changing free parking spots to metered parking in the evening, while maintaining free overnight parking to encourage nighttime accessibility.
Further developments are planned for 2025, including curbside hubs for deliveries and electric vehicle charging, signaling a long-term commitment to improving urban infrastructure.
