Trucks driving on this route don't yield to anyone. They endanger cyclists (I am one) every day since they are too high up to see us. No trucks should be allowed on Caton Avenue between McDonald and Linden Aves.

Semis are backed up all along Caton Avenue to Linden Avenue all day and well into the evening. The exhaust form these diesel trucks is horrendous, and the area is nearly 100% residential so the impact on humans and animals is high. The noise pollution from these enormous engines roaring through our neighborhood is equally disturbing. This route should not be open to trucks at all! Semis on our city streets and passing through the city to other destinations should be strictly curtailed.

Large trucks drive fast and block crosswalks in residential area where three school nearby. Forces me and my children to walk in the middle of the intersection. Very unsafe!

Trucks are speeding through this area constantly (Right next to a school!!!) and I've repeatedly seen them blow through red lights and nearly take out a kid or someone walking their dog

Horribly dangerous potholes/craters. Large trucks come through here and kick up chunks of pavement. Had my windshield cracked from them. Also, unhealthy noise disturbances due to how loud this is.

The truck route via McDonald Ave to Caton Ave is extremely polluting to all residents and the schools. Horrible diesel fumes emanate via all the trucks stopping at multiple lights and the sheer volume of trucks on a daily basis. The volume is also extremely loud as these trucks role down the street stopping and restarting. It is also extremely dangerous as there is not enough room for all these trucks in this residential space. Additionally the roadway is very degraded with multiple potholes.

This intersection is a major contributor of eastbound caton congestion because traffic waiting for pedestrians block other motor traffic. Dedicate pedestrian and motor crossing periods.
