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 traveling along Northern Boulevard are not only breaking the speed limit, but they're also breaking it while not having various parts of them secured, therefore creating a cacophonous orchestra of noise when they pass.
Stuytown waste disposal happens here and there are frequently garbage trucks parked on sidewalk, have to walk in street to get around them. Also a lot of debris (e.g., glass) that is on sidewalk so makes it difficult to walk dog
there are a lot of delivery trucks (UPS and FedEx) traveling eastbound on Carmine that turn into pedestrians crossing 6th avenue
Trucks have a difficult sharp turn, and often turn onto the sidewalk here; nearly hitting the children who attend the 4 schools that share this intersection.
Trucks regularly speed through this no truck road. 311 complaints have no yielded any results from NYPD. NYPD says to call when witnessing truck but by the time you call the truck would have left. Elected officials aware of this problem and have escalated to precinct, but still no results.
Trucks run through this no truck street every day. Pedestrian hit last summer.
Bike Lane and/or part of the sidewalk is constantly blocked by trucks.
Why are cars allowed to park on this section of myrtle that runs under the M??? It gets really crazy here - this is a major car route AND truck route AND a bus route AND a major bike route. The parked cars have got to go to make space for all this.
I cross this street while using the bike lane, every morning it feels like I'm crossing an interstate, probably at least 10 trucks (53 trailers, large box trucks, cemet trucks, etc) will fly by just while waiting for the light, it is heavily used. Not sure if they are actually speeding or if the narrow street + huge size of the trucks makes it seem like they are going faster? Either way it just doesn't seem safe.
Absolute chaos in this section of grand between waterbury and Morgan. There are ALWAYS trucks parked in the bike lane AND on the sidewalk here. Do you need evidence? Look at the google street view AND the satellite view I counted 38 vehicles just in those images.
Do you want to show us the area in StreetView before submitting?
