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

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.

This residential street is extremely narrow and not suitable for trucks
Amazon is creating a new distribution center inside Rentar Plaza - street level. The y have failed to notify anyone on community or Council District about their traffic plan. Their new loading bay doors are mid block - cross over a sidewalk - do not have any traffic signals. How is any truck supposed to cross the double yellow lines leavibg the building turning West Bound on Metropolitan Ave. The trucks tend to leave around the same time in the AM. How will that affect commuters, buses, and high school students 1 block away, and the terminus of the M train. They need a traffic signal at their new garage doors. Location close to the M train station, not the loading docks on western side - that is different - they have turning bays on Metro.
63 Drive from LIRR rail road to Queens Blvd - both directions - total disaster when it comes to loading and offloading of trucks. This place should be nighttime loading and unloading only - do a pilot project here. Traffic does not flow, busses can not go forward more than 1 mph - sit at lights. Make a Dedicated bus lane like Fresh Pond Road, or restrict loading and unloading for overnight hours. Keep the curbs clear, make the traffic flow, pedestrians and school kids won't get more injured if you do that.
Trucks turn off route onto WB Eliot Ave at SB Woodhaven Blvd. Trucks continue illegally driving through Middle Village on Eliot Ave until ther get to Metropolitan Ave and Eliot Ave, where they continue onto Metropolitan Ave. We've been complaining for years.
Illegal truck movements on Eliot Ave West and East bound. Trucks come turn off 69 Street either NB or SB and utn EB or WB on Eliot Ave.
The truck exhaust and noise on McDonald Ave make it hard to be outside of our apartment on the street, especially with young children.
This is a busy intersection as trucks make a left from McDonald Ave onto Caton and there is a lot of traffic going west to east on Caton already. Trucks often don't see people crossing across Caton (I was almost hit by a truck who turned while I was already crossing the intersection with the light). Trucks also routinely block the intersection trying to make the left turn, forcing people to walk into the intersection to get around them.
This is a downhill street and often trucks are speeding down the street and struggle to stop for red lights. Then, they have to slam on their breaks which is loud and they either run the red light or stop in the intersection. They are often speeding as they adjust to coming off the highway onto a residental road.
Way too many truck routes encircle this central location where so many community members resort to for resources
