And today I had four stops between 12:30 and 1:30 along the 14th St busway, ended up jogging two blocks from a 10‑minute loading zone with the hand truck while traffic cops circled and cabs boxed me in… How are you threading traffic and grabbing legal curb without racking up $115 tickets when the window is that tight?
I skip the busway and grab a commercial meter on 15th or 16th near 6th, start the session in ParkNYC (https://parknyc.org) as I’m rolling so the agent sees it live. The extra half block with the hand truck beats gambling on a “10‑minute loading,” and if those are jammed I use the Union Sq W loading curb and backtrack. Which avenue are your tightest drops — 8th or 3rd?
