🚨 You need to know
Businesses might find it a little easier to set up loading zones.
Patch reported that the Alexandria Traffic and Parking Board approved a new streamlined process for loading zones, allowing the Transportation and Environmental Services director to approve them administratively.
This means that businesses don’t need to go through a public hearing process to add rideshare, takeout, and delivery drop-off zones, though on-site signage is required to allow the public to weigh in before the approval.
