Well the delivery guy also has deal with parking their van perhaps illegally in order to do so and if there is a thunderstorm like predicted later on today that isn't the best option to take cardboard boxes up to a block or so in the rain.
Well, that's been an ongoing issue well before the pandemic. I think the simplest way to deal with this is creating more loading areas and clearly demarcating them and doing a good job of enforcing such and really drilling down on double parking. To me, the easiest way to do it is to expand the no long-term parking areas in front of bus stops and on both sides of fire hydrants as those naturally create a large buffer zone for faster ingress and egress and also naturally allows having spaces on every block (fire hydrants) and more spaces on heavily commercially trafficked areas (streets where buses operate). Opening up more loading spaces for delivery and livery services is the carrot while really cracking down on double parking is the stick.
I think some open streets are being shared between local car traffic as well as pedestrians especially in an areas where there is a lot of street parking with suspended alternate side parking at the moment.
About a month into this, and I've got to say, this has been much more pleasant and less of a cluster**** than I expected. The open streets around me in Brooklyn are very well-used by families with kids especially. I honestly would be glad to see these become permanent even after the pandemic is well over. It's been great! Of course, I'm also not sure how much of this I'm conflating with my delight over summer starting with lots of birds chirping.
How's it been in your neighborhood if you live with one within short walking distance? I've heard both within this thread and from a friend that the 34th Street one in Jackson Heights is fantastic as it's quite long and the area really could do with more public space.
this is a ridicoulos idea, we have parks for open space.
what a bunch of retards we have running our city, freaking retards.
Have you been to one? How is it in your neighborhood?
In our area, it seems pretty well-appreciated. It’s also still being used for getting to things but via bike or walking and it’s sort of like walking a nice boulevard or pedestrian mall. Granted, I don’t know how they’re implemented in other parts of city.

Ours is small and not used very often. Seems hit or miss. I'm sure if you live on one of the blocks and have to come and go regularly by vehicle it's not as pleasant.

No, my neighborhood doesn't have any of them, and our park, Bensonhurst Park is under construction so only a part of it is open and the people stay in that part, no problems.
