We Want Your Input on NYC's Truck Route Network

The NYC Truck Route Network is a system of designated roads that helps commercial vehicles navigate the city efficiently. It aims to:

Connect primary freight origins and destinations.
Maximize access to industrial and commercial zones.
Minimize conflicts with residential areas and vulnerable road users.

This network is crucial for supporting the local economy and livability by:

Organizing neighborhood truck activity
Reducing traffic congestion on non-designated routes

Feedback Guidance:

We want to hear from you, help us identify how and where we can improve the movement of trucks on our city streets.

Options for feedback:

Confusing Truck Route Signage: A Unclear or inaccurate posted truck route signage
Missing Truck Route Signage: A lack of adequate signage to help guide trucks to and along designated truck routes.
Poor network connection: Areas with inadequate truck route network connectivity, often leading truck drivers to deviate from designated truck routes.
Weight & Height Restrictions: Overweight and/ or over-dimensional trucks are often observed.
Limited Curb Access: Trucks observed blocking moving, bike, or bus lanes; or have limited access to curbs for loading and unloading purposes.
Narrow Roadway: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as narrow roadway
Difficult Truck Turn: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as sharp turns
Maintenance Needed: Substandard road conditions, such as potholes, uneven surfaces, or lack of maintenance.
Limited Truck Parking: Shortage of designated parking spaces for trucks.
Observed Bicyclist and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of bicycle and truck conflicts occurred
Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of pedestrian and truck conflicts occurred
Speeding Truck: Locations where trucks are observed speeding along the street or intersection
Health and Environmental Impact: Locations with air quality, general health, and environmental concerns

210 St - Jamaica Ave - Queens

@10th Street btw Jamaica & Hillside Aves -- Absolutely NO Commercial Trucks should be allowed - we need to stop these drivers from abusing our neighborhoods and changing our quality of life. We need signage to indicate NO TRUCKS. This survey/question doesn't service property owners who care about their homes and community. STOP destroying our way of living. Commercial trucks should not be allowed to park in residential areas. More residents will relocate -- homeowners will move away as we are tried of fight for a better way of living.

Grand Concourse - East 163 St - East 164 St - Bronx

Grand concourse from 150 up through 167 runs directly alongside 2 major parks in the area (franz Siegel and Joyce Kilmer) and is near two more (macombs damn and rev Wendell fostser). These parks are highly trafficked year round especially by children. The added exhaust from commercial trucks would be highly detrimental to these vital community outdoor spaces.
