Council Member Dinowitz has shared the following:

 

“City Hall has convened a Task Force with relevant City agencies to address overnight truck parking in NYC and to assess potential solutions. New York City has existing regulations prohibiting commercial vehicles from parking on residential streets overnight but, as you are aware the problem has persisted, particularly in outer borough neighborhoods. With the increased use of freight and expected industry growth, the City needs to examine the trends and data, and come up with solutions that will be long term and sustainable.

 

With the input from our community, we will be able to accurately assess the current situation and potential solutions for persistent issues. Your responses are critical to help inform and guide our next steps.

 

The survey will close on February 24th. If there are other parties or individuals who have expressed concerns about overnight truck parking, please send them this survey to fill out. If you have any further questions please email our task force email, cc’d here (OTPTaskForce@cityhall.nyc.gov).

 

*Spanish version of the survey is linked directly through the main survey link. If any other languages are needed, please contact OTPTaskForce@cityhall.nyc.gov and let us know which language is needed for further assistance.*
