I used to enjoy walking to the church, but the truck fumes and noise make it unbearable. We need a new route to bring peace back to our streets.
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.

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

The truck traffic is so loud that it drowns out our church bells. It's sad that such a beautiful sound is being overshadowed by constant noise.
Our church choir struggles to practice with the constant roar of trucks outside. We need peace in our community to worship and gather.
The children in our church’s youth group can’t play outside because of the truck fumes and noise. It’s affecting their health and well-being.
As a member of the local church, it's heartbreaking to see our community suffer from the constant truck noise and pollution. Our Sunday services are interrupted by the loud rumble of passing trucks.
Every night, I hear trucks speeding down the road. It’s disturbing my sleep, and I wake up tired every day. This route is a nightmare.
The noise from these trucks is ridiculous. I can’t even enjoy a simple conversation on my front porch without shouting. We need a quieter neighborhood.

I’ve noticed more dust and grime in my house since the trucks started coming through. The pollution is terrible, and it’s affecting our daily lives.
I bought this home thinking it was a quiet neighborhood, but the trucks keep me up all night. It’s really disappointing.
