I don't see how it can be any worse than food delivery drivers parking in front of restaurants along main. This was always the plan regardless of what type of building was going to go here. Aren't there other residential and office tower entrances located along main?

The same delivery drivers who delay the streetcar every other time I ride it.

They'd probably do a cut-in similar to Three Light. I agree delivery drivers are a problem but this lobby location can not be changed and was the plan from day one, so we've got to deal with it.

What can be changed is working with Uber and Lyft to not allow drop offs / pick ups on Main Street in Crossroads, Loop, RM. I’ve seen other cities where they do a great job working with the TNC providers to coordinate zones around large venues or entertainment districts. Works quite well really.

As for food and package delivery, there’s no reason they can’t come in the other side. Again you see this in “big cities” that run more efficiently.
