The department of transportation shall conduct a study of traffic congestion resulting from truck deliveries in the Borough of Manhattan south of 59th Street, being bounded by the East River on the east and the Hudson River on the west, and in the Borough of Brooklyn from Tillary Street on the north and Livingston Street on the south through Cadman Plaza West extending into Court Street on the west and Flatbush Avenue on the east, inclusive of both sides of such streets. Such study shall include traffic congestion from truck deliveries at all hours of the day, night, and overnight. Such study shall include, but not be limited to, an analysis of the feasibility and necessity of implementing measures to reduce traffic congestion resulting from truck deliveries in the designated area between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. including the possibility of shifting truck deliveries between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to hours after 7 p.m. The department shall implement feasible measures deemed necessary to decrease traffic congestion resulting from truck deliveries recommended by such study. No later than June 30, 2018, the department shall post on its website and submit to the speaker of the council the results of such study.
