Reply to comment by Shreddersaurusrex in Controversy over neighborhood hubs for food delivery workers in Manhattan by Shreddersaurusrex

Repeated observations of delivery drivers driving without regard to pedestrian safety and complete silence on what steps will be taken to ensure pedestrian safety, which is what the bulk of complaints to the CB around this proposed hub focused on. Look - I know the delivery drivers don’t drive like this because they’re horrible people. It’s a crappy system that incentivizes this dangerous behavior, which is why I don’t order delivery. But these safety concerns need to be considered and addressed.

It’s a non issue. The primary killer of pedestrians in this city are cars, which take up an inordinate amount of space, not the ebike delivery workers. I see some of them occasionally slowly ride in parts of the sidewalk, but the vast majority of them ride in the road because they can go faster in the road. It’s sad to see people take out their frustrations on these poor immigrants than on the actual problem and pedestrian killers in this city.

Both issues need to be individually worked on and solved.
