Package delivery by bike is super inefficient because the carrying capacity is so low. For internet shopping delivery, it really doesn't make sense outside of very high density residential areas. Of course, the real solution is to consume less and also have centralised pick up stations instead of front door delivery.

I used to deliver mail by cargo bike in central Copenhagen. Those boxes took up so much space. Especially the ones for the wig maker. And I only got reasonable size stuff under 2kg. I guess NYC could work with nice delivery though, but you still need bulk transport to locations every like 10 kilometers. Also yeah, stores are good, but for niche stuff I like that I can order to a package pick-up machine and swing by on my bike on the way home. Seems a lot less wasteful than having someone go all the way to my house.

Car or bike, it seems a lot less wasteful to make one optimized trip to drop off packages for a large number of people than all of those people individually modifying their trips or taking extra trips to pick up those packages.

I guess NYC could work with nice delivery though, but you still need bulk transport to locations every like 10 kilometers. Lucky you, there's things like that if you really want with the Amazon storage lockers at grocery stores, drug stores, etc. Many people just want these things delivered to their homes, and it's especially convenient for bigger or bulkier things that might otherwise encourage people to make a car trip for. Think of delivery trucks as the buses of packages if that makes you feel better.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2024/03/11/st-petersburg-fatal-crash-pinellas-state-attorney/ Prosecutors have dismissed the criminal case against a man police arrested on two charges of vehicular homicide after he ran a red light and killed two people in St. Petersburg late last year. Owen Gardner Whittaker, 21, was arrested the day of the Dec. 9 crash on Fourth Street North at 72nd Avenue North. The police say that the driver involved in this double-fatal crash was going 72 mph in a 45-mph zone when he ran a red light and killed two people.

sure he broke the law, he was going over the speed limit, he ran a red light, and he killed a guy - but is that a reason to ruin his life? the alive guy i mean not the guy who died, obviously.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

sure he was going 30 over the speed limit, and sure he ran a red light, and sure he killed two people -- but should we really send someone to prison over such minor lapses in judgment?

AND he's already pled no contest to careless driving citation a year and a half ago. But, this is just a first-time offense and it would be unfair to him. I still think this is a bribery thing. DeSantis's admin is kind of notoriously corrupt.

City is dropping speed limits to 40km downtown*. Lower would be better, pedestrianisation would be best, but I'm still calling this an epic win *exceptions for the two busiest and coincidentally most pedestrian dangerous streets lmfao
