I bought this home thinking it was a quiet neighborhood, but the trucks keep me up all night. It’s really disappointing.
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

I bought this home thinking it was a quiet neighborhood, but the trucks keep me up all night. It’s really disappointing.
I worry about my grandchildren playing outside with all the pollution from the trucks. It’s not safe for them.
My house shakes every time a truck passes by. The noise and vibrations are out of control.
I have to wear earplugs to bed because the trucks are so loud. It’s ridiculous!
The noise from the trucks wakes up my baby constantly. It’s affecting our quality of life.
The fumes from these trucks are making it hard for me to breathe. This pollution is terrible for my health.
Studying at home has become a nightmare with the constant noise from trucks all night. I can't focus at all.
I moved to this neighborhood for peace in my retirement, but the constant truck noise and pollution are making it impossible to relax.
I’m tired of these trucks ruining our roads. It’s a nightmare driving on such uneven pavement. My tires are taking a beating.
The roads are so bumpy now that my grandma is afraid to drive on them. We need to fix this problem and find a new route for these trucks.
