No access to this building means trucks often pull into the bike lane and park. This means bikes, scooters, mopeds, etc. use the sidewalk on both sides of the street.
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

There is effectively only one lane of traffic, since delivery trucks/passenger drop-offs are usually stopped/parked in the right lane.
Trucks regularly run the red light. A child was killed here several years ago as was Bike delivery worker. And there is a school at the intersection.
Trucks regularly race to catch the green or yellow light to turn left onto Caton after coming off the Prospect Expy. Busy pedestrian area with local school, library & park nearby.
This bike lane along Vernon Blvd is often blocked by multiple semi trucks waiting to deliver btw 7:30 and 8:30am weekdays. When delivering, they back into the facility and block all street access, east sidewalk and the biked lane, knocking down the plastic dividers separating the bike lane from the road. Mopeds, motorcyles, bikes and scooters then use the west sidewalk because the bike lane is blocked. Note that two trees on the sidewalk have also been knocked over by semi trucks and the tree pits severely eroded, filled with plastic bike lane dividers. I saw two DOT personnel on this street about a month ago - they were picking up the plastic street dividers. I mentioned to them this consistent problem.

You absolutely cannot make 3rd Avenue a truck route. It is a narrow residential shopping street. You will get people killed.
Trucks regularly run the red light at this intersection.
Trucks, buses, etc have zero place to load in, so they resort to double parking, causing massive backups along Livingston St.
Delivery trucks just park in the traffic lane, causing massive backups throughout the system.
