Abstract:

A diverse group of urban goods movement projects and actions taken by municipalities are documented and the principal lesson or lessons derived from each project are highlighted. The research used the literature, field visits, interviews, and independent research to formulate the presentation of the selected examples. The paper contains eight examples of municipalities that have implemented projects in curb space management, off-street facility planning, and zoning. Six examples are drawn from U.S. cities and two from Canada. An evaluation follows each example to highlight the positive and negative results of each as they might affect application elsewhere. This paper is drawn from research sponsored by the UMTA University Research Program and was conducted by the author while at the Polytechnic Institute of New York.
