whatever is convenient, for short distances (shops right next to where the tram stops) you can probably just straight up use the same pallet trucks used to unload it (they’re really quite speedy and flexible), for longer distances cargo bikes.
Mmh in my experience actually not.
Very distinct streets in the centre are shopping streets (with residential on the higher floors).
Many neighbourhoods are just residential.
while you could argue the specialized electric buses and delivery vans are “Cars” they cannot drive on normal roads and do not produce pollution, in terms of emissions or noise, like regular cars. It’s more than possible to build a car free city, its been done before.
Have you ever been in a city? Practically every street has stores that need deliveries. Does every street get a tram track?
I think a good use would be to go from an industrial area to another, or to a cargo hub.
That is apparently what this tram did, although normally heavy rail would fill this role.
Use trams to get goods to neighbourhoods, then distribute from there.

Trains to distribution center, pneumatic tubes from distribution center to every home and business.
I want my green steampunk future cities.

I believe the tracks for the long distance trains should go to warehouse or distributions whatever then cargo bikes would deliver them locally.
Have you ever seen how much stuff your typical courier has in their van?
The answer should be yes. In fact we should dig up the bicycle lanes to make way for tram tracks.
A tram to every driveway please. I want my own tram
This is actually how americans think transit should work.
I want this globally, I want to drive my tram from Albuquerque to Amsterdam
Or maybe make deliveries on cargo bikes.
