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 awaiting delivery appointment always stage here in the middle island of the roadway all night long.
This connection no longer exist due to the creation of Edgewater Rd/Hunts Point Market exit on the Sheridan.
I see bumper to bumper traffic results in hopping lights and speeding around traffic into oncoming traffic. And that mixes with the bike lane, families walking to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Its so very dangerous.
On a weekly basis trucks are nearly hitting people and cars. I have had to jump out of the way with my 5 year old while on the sidewalk to avoid getting hit when a truck turns (too narrow of the street) hits the parked car which is then pulled up onto the sidewalk. My car has been hit personally. The traffic is sooooo dangerous. We need all these trucks off the local small roads.
The Atlantic Ave entrance to the BQE accounts for a significant amount of the traffic on our local roads (slowing travel speeds on Hicks/Columbia/Clinton by 30-50% since the lane reduction in 2021), as well as pedestrian safety hazards (physical and environmental) created by that traffic.
This entire area is a nightmare for pedestrians and drivers alike. Drivers coming off the turn from Hicks street clog up the intersection nearby, causing gridlock and making it dangerous to cross the street. The on ramps to the BQE are terrifying to cross with my kids when we try to go to Brookly Bridge Park. Its time to close this onramp!
Double and triple parked when Fairway gets deliveries.
Basically a truck loading (mostly Fresh Direct) zone.
No left turn onto 7th Avenue during weekday hours constantly ignored by trucks and cars.
Car/truck double-park zone in biked lane along W. 77th Street
