The new zero-emission delivery zone, the citywide digital curb inventory and the improved working relationships with residents, businesses and even package carriers like FedEx are all great to have.
But perhaps the most sizable and lasting legacy of a grant program aimed at modernizing the way cities use and regulate curbs will be the foundational baseline these projects establish — a baseline for data and how its gathered, an opening for collaborating with other city departments and a launchpad for community engagement.
“Just the fact that this is the first time we’ve ever worked together in this way, we’re already forming some sort of structure changes. And it’s really awesome to be able to partner like this, and to bring teams together, within the DOT,” remarked Sarah Abroff, co-project lead with the planning department in the San Jose, Calif., Department of Transportation.
