    What? No mention of Ubereats, Doordash or the like? You’d think parking is damn important for them…

      @No1 @Zagorath Especially in inner-city areas, many of those deliveries are done by bike.

      And because most suburbs lack proper Dutch-style protected bike lanes, those riders either have to try to avoid getting hit by cars if they cycle on the road, or dodge pedestrians on the footpath.

      Fewer parking spots and more protected bike lanes would help, rather than hinder, many food deliveries.

        Tru dat. And the article was really about inner city. I was still surprised that there wasn’t any mention of the delivery services at all. They should include your comment in their article!

        Out in the 'burbs, though, drivers won’t pickup from some restaurants/etc because it’s too hard or takes too long to find somewhere to park…
