Hat tip to reader Randy Evans who passed on this link for a European pilot program on managing congestion due to city-center deliveries.
What might a similar program look like here in our region?

How about bicycles with trailers, luggage carts, and handtrucks at a central staging area where delivery trucks make a pass-off to local non-motorized distribution of goods?
Everyone buys Sprinter vans.
There’s a plug-in-hybrid Sprinter van coming out. Won’t do much for congestion per-se, but will do a lot for street level pollution and noise.

I like the idea of having a neighborhood delivery center. You could walk or bike to pick up your stuff, or arrange delivery to your house in a neighborhood-friendly vehicle.
Maybe a market opportunity for Kinkos?
