Delivery trucks would deliver to one location in town rather than travel door to door. From there, a third-party company would distribute the deliveries to the restaurants and businesses using a fleet of small electric vehicles.
At the Dec. 12 Town Council meeting, staffers brought in 106West Logistics to discuss how the roll out in Vail went and how a similar program could work in Breckenridge.
Staff members noted in a memo that the town is interested in pursuing a similar program as it looks to reduce the number of delivery trucks accessing or idling near businesses from the Main Street alleys.
Vail’s introduction of the e-delivery service was accompanied by a ban on delivery vehicles and trucks in its villages. It also hoped to ban high-volume, commercial carrier delivery trucks, something the town is currently undergoing a lawsuit over. This ban barred national carriers from the area such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL.
This lawsuit, brought by the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, began in November and claims the town’s ordinance removing delivery vehicles from Vail Village and Lionshead Village is anti-competitive and preempted by federal law.
On December 15 a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the town from enforcing the ordinance until a trial is held.
