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

It stinks here under the bridge. Makes me think there’s a ton of pullutanta here from these huge trucks. Big health concern
High energy use and pollution
The smell of fumes here is so thick and the air feels disgusting. The intersections get more and more dangerous as you walk down, and the noise gets louder
Van Brunt is a narrow street that serves cars, buses, ambulances, fire trucks, trucks, delivery vans, pedestrians and bicycles. Vulnerable road users need protection, and strategies for reducing trucks, vans and car traffic need to be put in place to support safe, healthy and equitable mobility options.
Noise and pollution in the neighborhood
Tons of noise pollution from the trucks
Very loud trucks
It's extremely loud, the air seems to be pretty heavy
I observed trucks on 1st Avenue in the bus lane and on the side street of 52nd between first Avenue and the river and across the city sorting boxes for delivery on the streets and sidewalks. The boxes should be sorted when the trucks pick them up from pick them up and load on the trucks from the depot. They should follow the same procedure as ups. Currently boxes are thrown in the streets and sidewalks blocking the sidewalks and streets for an extended period of time. I called Amazon to see if they would help (mostly amazon boxes) however fell on deaf ears. The boxes are in the street and in the sidewalks for several hours before the deliveries are completed.
There is one sign that let's trucks know that they are not allowed to travel down 19th st unless they are delivering something locally. However, trucks do not follow this sign since the closing of 20th st as a 2-way street. All types of trucks now use 19th st as their pathway to the Prospect Expressway, but it is very loud and house shaking the size and weight of the trucks that use this path illegally.
