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

Trucks including FedEx, UPS, Amazon, USPS consistently speeding down 42 street as a shortcut around the light at 43 street to get on the BQE.
Trucks including FedEx, UPS, Amazon, USPS consistently blocking bike lane for extended periods of time.

Trucks seem to idle and make a lot of noise and smells. There are too many delivery trucks during the day and too many commercial garbage trucks at night
Restaraunt sheds make it impossible to service them no parking and always double park in bike lanes it's a mess
Trucks consistently park in bike lane here (I think loading/unloading for food pantry at Evangel church). Loading zone / bike lane parking enforcement needed.
Since there is no longer a connection from Garrison Avenue to Edgewater Road, the short Truck Route on Garrison Avenue from Bryant Avenue to Whittier Street, on Bryant Ave from Garrison Avenue to Bruckner Boulevard, and the route on Whittier Street from Garrison Avenue to Bruckner Boulevard seems to be unnecessary.
Massive pedestrian throughput from metropolitan lorimer subway station. There is also a pleasant bike route to the north along union that this intersection chokes out.
oversized trucks are the norm here and there seems to be zero enforcement of the city's truck size limits.
Trucks speed through this intersection, often running the red light but there is no camera on the traffic camera mount to catch them and ticket them.
