NY S05651

Cities with populations over one million must conduct a feasibility study on constructing new urban consolidation centers and shared use locker technologies or retrofitting existing spaces for these purposes.

The study must examine reducing truck traffic in residential neighborhoods, assess application to high-rise buildings and high-pedestrian areas, and explore shared use locker storage for last-mile goods delivery.

The study must evaluate authorizing shared use lockers in public rights of way, on city-owned property, or through private partnerships, and identify existing spaces that could be retrofitted.

The city council must publish the study findings and recommendations online within one year of the law's effective date and deliver the report to the legislature.

Urban consolidation centers are defined as facilities combining multiple deliveries from different suppliers to a central location; shared use locker technologies are neighborhood delivery locations with lockers for consumer pickup.
