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.

I no longer order delivery because I don’t want to support a system that encourages horribly reckless behavior from delivery drivers - driving on the sidewalks and going the wrong way on streets in ebikes and motorbikes is dangerous and I don’t want a busy subway station in an already complicated intersection to be made even more dangerous by this behavior. No plans were provided as to how many drivers this hub would accommodate nor did representatives of the delivery drivers address pedestrian safety concerns. Finally, no representatives of Grubhub, Uber Eats, Doordash, etc. spoke at the community board hearing - why are taxpayers expected to pay for a hub benefiting these businesses? Why aren’t they paying for it?
