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

Catering trucks idle all day and night
Concourse has residential buildings lining it. This specific section has tons of kids and elderly and other populations that are particularly susceptible to conditions that a proliferation of trucks and their exhaust would cause. In addition, there are already dangerous intersections for crossing pedestrians. The intersection at 165 is particularly challenging and dangerous as there are not currently green turn signals and no one seems to know how to turn effectively there. Pedestrians have been hit in recent months crossing Concourse. Please keep our street free of truck thoroughfare.
The constant trucks on Caton all day spewing exhaust pose a health risk to the many children and parents walking to and from school along the Parade Grounds. Additionally, they pose risks to the children playing at the playground on Caton and Parade Place as well as everyone (adults and children) playing soccer at the Parade Grounds fields with the fumes and noise of their honking horns, downshifting, and loud rumbling. Further, when my daughter and I are walking home from school in the late afternoon I have observed many ambulances stuck behind trucks on Caton when cars are able to move to allow ambulances to pass; most of the ambulances seem to be heading to/from Maimomades and Kings County/University Hospital Brooklyn and the dense housing in the area.
Narrow street cannot accommodate trucks.
Speeding trucks create are dangerous in residential neighborhood where children congregate and play and bike rider.
Commercial truck releases too much green house gases, they decrease the quality of life.
No commercial vehicles in our streets not neighborhoods
Nearby public housing development and schools are exposed to heavy truck traffic that cause poor air quality and result in poor health outcomes for those in the vicinity, including children and elders.
No Truck signage needed at 210sth and Jamaica Ave
Need No Truck signage - on 210 street from Jamaica Ave to Hillside
