Dekalb has an unprotected bike lane and is already a very busy street through a residential area. Trucks have no business going through there.

Lafayette is a one way street with an unprotected bike lane through a residential area. Trucks should not be utilizing this road.

East 36 St - Madison Ave - Park Ave

Road surface has buckled with heavy usage, heaving up the road surface into bumps causing dump trucks, garbage trucks and heavy equipment trucks to rattle and bang loudly - especially at night when they are speeding toward the tunnel. (Similar problems on westbound East 37th Street as well. )

2 Ave - East 50 St - East 51 St - Manhattan

In addition to the Health & Environmental repercussions with extreme noise and danger trying to hail a taxi with a truck blocking the street forcing a pedestrian to walk into the 3rd lane of traffic, consideration should be given to having designated truck delivery times in congested zones -- say 5 or 6 am to 8 am, and 9 pm to 11pm -12 midnight. The impact on traffic, pedestrians & environment will be reduced..

Over sized trucks often pass through this residential street and yank out over head cables. This has occurred more than a handful of times and its dangerous and unacceptable.

Terrace Pl - Mcdonald Ave - 20 St

when schools are open this is a heavily used crossing for parents taking kids to school. There needs to be better street design to make crossing safer

Caton Ave - Buckingham Rd - Parade Pl

It begs belief that the City would designate a single lane road, that runs along schools, children's playgrounds, sports fields and senior centers as a truck route. The negative impact on this community are difficult to overstate. The pollution from these trucks is intense, as is the noise. They disrupt people's sleep and contribute to asthma and other breathing problems. A few days with the windows open and the ledge is covered in black soot. The noise, particularly at night and the early hours of the morning is intense. You hear every wheel hitting every pothole. The trucks shake the building and use their horns. When they block the sidewalk, pedestrians can't see, and the traffic they cause makes other drivers impatient so that they speed, run through red lights and also go heavy on their horns. This beautiful neighborhood is being absolutely destroyed by these large trucks. I have had many neighbors move because they simply could not take it anymore.

Caton Ave - Marlborough Rd - Buckingham Rd

Caton Ave is in constant need of repair because the trucks that use this narrow road as a thoroughfare are simply too big and heavy. While the City does frequently come out to make the repairs (which adds to noise and traffic in the area), they operate simply as Band-Aids. Furthermore, the noise created by large trucks going over multiple potholes is excruciating.

Narrow Roadway

Caton Ave - Marlborough Rd - Buckingham Rd

Caton Ave is a single lane road that also accommodates car parking, a bus route and bike share. It also runs by schools, parks, playgrounds and senior centers. It is simply too narrow to accommodate the large trucks that use it.

Caton Ave - Rugby Rd - Marlborough Rd

Trucks along Caton Ave are frequently too long and heavy for this single-lane road. In addition to traffic, pollution, noise, and safety concerns, the trucks damage the road so that it is constantly being repaired. This has its own negative impacts on the community again adding to noise, traffic and pollution. I would suggest the City set weight and size limits for this road, especially as it runs by a school, a playground, sports fields and a senior center. The City could install cameras for enforcement and issue fines to trucks that violate the rules.
