Mit neuen Leitlinien zur Genehmigung ermöglichen wir die Aufstellungen von Packstationen & MicroHubs im öffentlichen Straßenland. Wichtige Kriterien: nur versiegelte Flächen - wie hier der P&R Parkplatz des S-Bahnhofs Priesterweg - sind zulässig und es darf nicht zu Lasten des Fußverkehrs gehen.
Wir freuen uns über die erste mit Solarstrom betriebene #DHL #Packstation auf öffentlichem Grund in #Tempelhof-Schöneberg! 🔌🎊 Bezirksbürgermeister @oltmann2605.bsky.social, Bezirksstadträtin @saskiaellenbeck.bsky.social und die DHL Group nahmen die Packstation heute ans Netz. ✔️

The "microhub" parking reserved for delivery firms to offload parcels from trucks to cargo bikes and hand-carts routinely go unused — or are filled with illegally parked cars — and delivery drivers continue to double park while making deliveries.

Cargo bikes are making a comeback in American cities. 🚲
The US cargo bike market has doubled from around $200M in 2020 to $400M in 2025.
Now cities are moving beyond pilots, with microhubs, e-cargo bike deliveries and zero-emission delivery zones.

Reading this is a bummer - this truck route redesign reeks of status quo thinking. Trucks are categorically unsafe, making the air terrible, and the shit noise pollution too.

Usually federal vehicle safety standards require vehicles to be large & heavy and, well, trucks.
Finally someone decided re-think the starting point, & started with an e-cargo bike.
Yes, we've seen similar vehicles here in Montreal, but Amazon is deploying at scale in NYC, along with microhubs.👍
