It takes skill to block a bus stop, a bike lane AND a hydrant simultaneously. Well, that, and an 18-wheeler. JP Biker was on hand to chronicle this achievement, on Centre at Seaverns.

I feel bad for the person that made this video. Nothing else to do but bother working people (who don't have many options for delivering product) in an attempt to get them in trouble. Get a life, please. People are just trying to do their job. What are they supposed to do park in the air? Oh, then they would be blocking the birds from flying. ugh.

...and you use the appropriate vehicle for it. Ie, you don't use an eighteen wheeler to deliver to a 2 car long loading zone. You use a box truck, or sprinter van (the sprinter van was specifically designed for this in europe...more than a decade ago!)
You don't have the right to park illegally blocking fire trucks, busses, and bikes because you chose the wrong vehicle for the job.

Remember all those NIMBYs complaining about noise at night? Well, this is only going to get worse.
The city also makes a fortune off truck delivery via citations, so it's not like they're going to be gaming to increase loading zones on roads. the delivery guys take the hit as just a normal business expense in the city, since there's not nearly enough loading / unloading areas and or proper unloading signage for proper drop off.
Honestly, get mad at the ever decreasing night delivery in this city.
Truck delivery is important
By Matthew
Wed, 03/21/2012 - 4:30pm
There is no excuse to break the law, but the city should also make accommodations for deliveries. On the other hand, this does not justify abusing the system with 5-axle trucks making local deliveries.
Not only does using such large trucks cause parking problems, it also tears up and destroys the local roads which we all depend upon, and pay taxes to maintain.
These rigs are by far the worst offenders when it comes to road wear, and the rest of us are subsidizing their operation. This distorts the market, leading to the current perverse situation. If the delivery companies had to factor in the true maintenance costs on their balance sheets, they would find it more economical to use smaller vehicles for these short distance tasks.

Who chose the vehicle? I doubt the driver has the chance to say, "No, this truck is too big. Let's move all the product into a van instead."
The driver is probably given the assignment, and then is stuck dealing with the situation on the street when he gets there.

Look closely - the eighteen wheeler would have fit inside the parking area (though still blocked the entire bus zone.) He's parked about 3-4 feet from the curb. The truck behind him is parked almost completely blocking the bike lane, and those are 5 feet wide, which means he's about 5-6 feet away from the curb.

"Navigating around" isn't the issue.
Getting plastered across the hood of the driver who thought they could "beat" you to the truck, or thought you'd stop instead of merge, is.
I was nearly hit *twice* yesterday by someone who didn't look, pulling out from a side street and then cutting me off to make a right turn. A bystander asked if I was OK and said "be safe out there". I am. It's all the other assholes not looking, or in such a goddamn rush, being dangerous!

when a truck double parks in a vehicle lane. Look over your shoulder and merge into the next lane over. Everyone does it. These trucks have a hard enough time making their deliveries downtown. Lots of mall businesses downtown struggle because their suppliers won't delivery due to fear of their trucks being ticketed. Or being harassed by some self-righteous biker who posts a video like this on youtube.

By anon

...the bus has to sit there blocking the entire lane to pick up and let out passengers. This causes a rolling traffic jam. The 39 is the second busiest line in the system, stops every few blocks, and at that "downtown JP" stop is one of the most heavily used; there can be a dozen people waiting.
All it takes are two people who don't have money on their card, and the bus sits there for a minute or two.
Someone in a wheelchair will require the driver to park+set the brake, activate the kneeling function, deploy the ramp, get out, ask all the idiots in the front seats just sitting there watching to yes, get up and move...fold the seats, wait for the person to maneuver their chair in, get out the tie-down straps, and attach at least two of them, one front and one rear, retract the ramp, deactivate kneeling, get seated, buckled in, unset the parking brake, and then get everyone ELSE in.
See how long that took to describe and read? Now picture how long it ACTUALLY takes in real life. Now picture the bus blocking the only lane of traffic because Dunkin Donuts can't use a goddamn sprinter van to deliver the donuts.

But I always wondered why people don't at least realize that if you have to reload or pay cash, get in the back of the line. Those people behind you could have taken their seats already and you can pay while the bus is moving, so it speeds things up for everyone, and also increases the ridership numbers a tiny bit because the driver won't have to wave on card/ticketholders to clear the doorway.

One big problem is bike lanes themselves, why is the city just making breakdown lanes into bike lanes?
The proper setup should be:
|sidewalk|small curb|bike lane|curb|parking/dropoff|rumble|road|
As it is now the bike lanes are glorified breakdown lanes. And putting parking on their far side is ALWAYS going to lead to double parking. And the city won't care, they're getting money from citations.

This isn't "yuppies" whining about city living (like local businesses that are loud late at night.) Let's look at where parking rules are stricter: the yuppie suburbs? Or the urban city? Answer: urban city. So a "yuppie" would theoretically be the person complaining about how they can't park in a bus stop.
Second: residents have a right to speak up about issues in their neighborhood, and in this case, it was done with humor.
People want to get to work on time (not have the second-busiest bus line in the system blocked.) Plus: have you ever been stuck behind a 39 bus that had to pick up a disabled passenger, but couldn't pull into the space? The bus ends up blocking one entire side of the street for SEVERAL MINUTES because the delivery companies can't use vehicles that fit into the commercial loading zone provided for them.
People want their home to not burn down to the ground (not have the fire truck responding get stuck.)
People want to bike through the center of their neighborhood without getting hit by a car as they merge to avoid a truck.

By Kaz

What gives them the right to "actively make deliveries" in a bike lane, in front of a hydrant, and on top of a bus stop?
They should have been given a large number of tickets for that parking job. The problem is that it is cheaper for Dunkin' Donuts to make all of their donuts at a single location, load up an 18-wheeler with supplies from that central warehouse and then drive it through the city to 20 different retail locations dropping off a handful of supplies at each location...but requiring an 18-wheeler to park at 20 different places blocking bus stops, lanes, and causing mayhem at each location when it does so.
Why is it cheaper? Because people like those commenting in this thread are willing to give them a pass on their disruption of someone else's quality of life, like the person who has to dangerously stand in the street to catch the bus...or the handicapped rider who can't be seen from behind the truck...or the home/business owner who has to wait an extra 15 minutes for the driver to be found and move his trailer so the fire department can access the hydrant, or the bike rider who has to share the lane unexpectedly...and the car driver who almost runs them over when they do so.
If they were ticketed every time they pulled this stunt throughout the city, they'd use smaller vehicles making quicker trips and create less of a burden on a whole lot of different quality of life issues (pollution, traffic, parking...). Our city is very European in style...but American in just about everything else. As someone pointed out above, there are plenty of better solutions that small Parisian streets and twisted Madrid alleys required a long time ago for city delivery. It would just mean your crappy quality sugarfatgreaselump might cost more than $0.50...or maybe they'd just have to go back to making the donuts on location again.

By Kaz
Wed, 03/21/2012 - 3:45pm
Seen that plenty of times too. However, at some point, the balance sheet would potentially come upended. First, it's not as if they pay those tickets they receive every day they receive them. They build up. If a single truck driving around town were to be ticketed every time it created a new violation, I'm guessing it wouldn't be more than a day or two before it met the criteria for a boot (do they even make boots that fit the wheels of a big rig? LOL).
My point is that the reason tickets are just a "cost of doing business" is that not every violation is ticketed...they're playing the percentages of being caught (but I can't even leave my new car an extra THREE minutes in Kendall Square yesterday without getting its first ticket...sigh-grumble-sigh). If they were ticketed every time, I'm guessing it would be cheaper to send the workers out with a sack of quarters delivering donuts from the back seats of their Camrys.

By whyaduck

the delivery has to be made. The driver is driving a 18 wheeler and he has to make the delivery. So where does he park? I do not blame the driver. He is not being a masswhole, he has to make the delivery. That is his job.
I am going to assume that the driver has x number of deliveries to be made in one day. Thus he needs a certain sized truck that will hold his deliveries in order for them to be transported.

Ingredients can be delivered at night (because there's no freshness requirement), in larger quantities (meaning many fewer deliveries/parking/traffic disruptions), and still wouldn't even require an 18-wheeler to do so. So...gotcha.
Also, I type at about 90-100 wpm (what can I say? Thanks, Mavis Beacon!). There were 328 words in my comment...it took me less than 4 minutes. It takes the driver 4 minutes just to get his paperwork from the cab and open the door to his trailer.

What's your point?
By Kaz
Wed, 03/21/2012 - 4:41pm
I'm betting that location doesn't have the room (or maybe not even the zoning/licensing) to have a full kitchen. Part of the move to delivering donuts by truck daily/quasi-daily (gross, right?) is to increase the number of retail locations by requiring only a place to warm the donuts and one of those toasting/microwave/convection oven prep tables for putting together the hot foods from frozen stocks and not a full kitchen. It also means you only have to make the donuts at one location and don't require a cook capable of making donuts at every location. It also means you don't have to worry about quality control as much since only one place is making them, only one place needs to be QC'd regularly...and every donut you put out will be the exact same every time without fail in a never-ending chain of perfectly mundane crap.
So, there are plenty of reasons why DD went to the WalMartian centralized delivery method of making and distributing low-end consumer foods. They're in the business of making money from good enough food, not good food any more. It's an easier path with higher margins than my suggestions. They'd never care what I had to say.

The guy simply has no choice, that's the reality of the situation and you'd be hard pressed to find a cop that would ticket this guy. I've been there. Sometimes you have to double park, then move when some space opens, and do what you can. Meanwhile, you have to keep an eye on your stuff so nobody steals anything. Then, do it all over again at the next stop. It sucks, it really does, but the guy has no choice.

But, seriously, how awesome would this driver have been if he'd pulled up, looked for a place to put the truck legally (there aren't any there) and left for his next delivery. When he gets back, half of his trailer is still full and none of the deliveries are made.
He then tells the guy on the loading dock that he can't make the delivery if there's nowhere to legally put the truck, that they can't require him to break the law as a function of his job, and that if they want him to make that delivery they'll give him the right equipment next time.

The DRIVER may not have a
By @non
Thu, 03/22/2012 - 3:41pm
The DRIVER may not have a choice, but Dunkin Donuts certainly had a choice when they were thinking about opening that particular store. "Hey guys, did you notice that this spot we're thinking of for our 550th store is on a very busy city street with no room for parking our large delivery trucks?" "Yeah, we noticed, but screw it."
An Asian restaurant recently opened at the end of my street. It's at the intersection of where a residential street (my street) meets a business/commercial street. This particular restaurant offers dine-in, take out, and delivery. About once a month or so, I'd come home from work to find one of their delivery cars parked in my parking spot (in my RESIDENTIAL driveway). My girlfriend, who gets home earlier than I do, says that she sometimes sees their cars in the spot when she gets home, but they move it before I get there. After the 4th time of politely asking them to move their damn cars so I could park, I went in and told the manager that if I ever see another car parked in that spot, I'm going to immediately call a tow truck. It hasn't happened since.
My point is, if a restaurant is planning on offering delivery service, it needs to have places to legally park its cars. Yes, on-street parking on my street can be tough to come by, but that's one of the reasons I treasure (and pay for) my private parking spot. It's not my fault that there aren't always places to park their delivery cars. That's something that needs to be taken into consideration BEFORE they set up shop in the neighborhood. By the same token, Dunkin Donuts needs to figure out if it can conduct all of its business legally, and that INCLUDES getting deliveries in a way compliant with traffic laws.

If the city is going to zone an area as commercial, then it has to expect the businesses are going to need deliveries and provide a way for that to happen. I'm not talking about loading docks, just an area for trucks to park so those businesses can get deliveries.

Just for the record 18 wheels dd trucks don't carry donuts. Donut trucks are small box trucks. 18 wheelers supply the hole store Of everything they need besides donuts. There typical are around 14 stores on one of those trucks which fill up the full trailer. They can't pick an choose a specific trailer size to go to Boston. They get the trail they get the route, they do the route. End of story. If they don't they get fired. Posting a video of a guy just trying to make a living is really pointless. It's not there fault of anything its the company's. This problem is always going to exist get over it. It's never gonna go away no matter how many videos you post.

Change the world by joining the army? For the worse, maybe. Let's see how many afghan civilians we can kill this week.
Poor suburban truck driver, can't figure out how to fit a rectangular object into a square hole. Punk ass. Bring me my donuts and shut the hell up. Oh, and try not to break about 17 laws while you're doing it, or did you not figure out what laws were before you dropped out of whatever bumblefuck high school that was once stuck with you.
Real truckers know how to make their runs, hit their stops and use the right loading zones at the right time of day. Short bus non-Teamsters pull crap like this. Keep talking big, big guy.
