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

truck needs clear signage that they cannot enter through here
trucks will frequently speed down 69 Ave as it is wide. they will frequently use it as a throughway even though that's not allowed
trucks will frequently park here and partially block the bike lane
trucks will idle and park here frequently even though it's not a designated spot
trucks frequently exit here to make an immediate U turn via 2 lefts so that they can get in the 495 faster or for those east bound, go through 73rd Ave across multiple residences to get on the 495. Even though this isn't allowed, they still do it. Some advance signage before the 495 exit as well as on 73 ave in multiple locations may be required
St. Johns place is a two way street in some areas. Between Rogers and New York ave the street is too narrow for two trucks to pass safely. The street is unstable and we have large potholes created by vehicles that are too heavy. Large vehicles also make the houses shake uncomfrotably, to the point where I thought the recent earthquack was a larger than usual truck passing by. I urge you to reconisder the truck route through these part of the neigborhood. Thank you.
Trucks often have difficulty turning onto 28th Street and cars will speed around them endangering pedestrians especially when the local PS 172 is in session. I have witnessed multiple incidents of families almost getting hit by trucks or trucks creating unsafe walking conditions on this corner.
Trucks idle on many of the blocks between 3rd and 4th ave in Sunset Park Greenwood Cemetery area. They throw bottles full of urine onto the street. Trucks will also leave their trucks on when loading and unloading as seen in the Google Maps image.
Very large trucks speed down the block all the time. They do not follow traffic laws and routinely endanger people who live and work on the block.
Trucks often come down 28th Street and either get stuck or cause traffic backups, especially on off sides parking days. The street is too narrow to accomodate large trucks safely.
