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

Really all of 6th Ave in Park Slope is dangerous for cyclists because of conflict with box trucks that shouldn’t be on this residential road in the first place.
Trucks from local businesses deliberately block curb access and take no heed to complaints filed against them.
As more people move into the community there is an increase in traffic and honking because trucks pass through the block and cause issues. The children who get in yellow busses in front of their homes have a run and jump on the bus to avoid trucks and loud honking. This street is used by everyone including commercial traffic over 700 residents live in this area and then on top of that the area is used for commercial traffic. The area is over used and we don't have the infrastructure for this the streets are run down and filled with garbage and traffic. People dump in the area because they assume thee trucks are making pit stops.
There is no side walk access because the scaffolding company uses the area to park there trucks people don't have access to the curb to walk or use their wheel chairs. People park ok the side walk and obstruct the curb.
There are vehicles that are blocking the street which makes it hard for trucks and cars to pass. There is a cement company that parks a huge truck on the corner that blocks traffic. You can not see the corner and people in wheelchairs can not see their surroundings because of the truck.
Pothole
Road damaged ( pothole ) drivers trying to avoid it by going in opposite direction.
Trucks may touch the tree’s branches which can be dangerous for drivers .
Trucks get stuck making the turn onto review backing up the traffic or hitting cars. Even worse when the bridge is up.
Roadway is too narrow to accommodate both truck traffic and commuter traffic during rush hour. Large trucks should not run along this stretch of Myrtle.
