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

Grand Street between W Broadway and Broadway is very narrow. There is a protected bike lane, on street parking, and dining sheds in this pedestrian heavy area. It is too narrow and there are too many conflicting uses to support truck traffic.
Canal between Forsyth and Allen is frequently used by trucks who either don't know or don't care that this stretch is not a truck route.
E Broadway is a frequently used by trucks.
Limited truck loading zones on Church St from Liberty St to Park Pl.
Limited truck loading zones on Broadway from Park Pl to Beaver St. Truck unload in bike lane, traffic lane, or bus lane.
Vernon between 51st Ave and 44th Dr is a narrow street with high pedestrian and bike volumes, on street parking, and multiple dining sheds. It is not a good street for a truck route.
Trucks like to park in the bus bay. Makes it unusable for bus riders and unsafe for cyclists to go around.
Morgan is fairly narrow close to the BQE. Vandervoort has double lanes, both lanes are wider, and it is much more accessible to drivers. Morgan should not be a truck route.
I-495 QMT signage all says "No Trucks", both on the pavement and on signs.
This turn is taken at speed and often drivers take both lanes to make this turn.
