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.
Poor network connection: Areas with inadequate truck route network connectivity, often leading truck drivers to deviate from 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

Commercial trucks speed thru the streets - most times not stopping at stop signs -- they are dangerous and scary (location: 210 St, btw Jamaica and Hillside Aves
As currently designed, this street is far too narrow for the amount of commercial truck activity that occurs. With metered parking on both sides, there is just one driving lane in each direction, and yet too often there are trucks parked up blocking the roadway for long periods of time and creating hazardous conditions for motorists as well as pedestrians.
This neighborhood should not be a thoroughfare for trucks as they cause pollution and air quality issues that have major health implications. According to NYC department of Health's own research (Epi Data Brief, September 2021, No. 126 ), "Children living in the Bronx have been disproportionately affected by asthma for over a decade... This disparity was particularly apparent in two South Bronx neighborhoods, Hunts Point-Mott Haven and High Bridge-Morrisania, where asthma-related ED visit rates among children ages 5 to 17 were 502.7 and 482.2, respectively, per 10,000 children. For comparison, these rates are nearly 20 times higher than the rates of asthma-related ED visits among the same age group residing in Bayside-Little Neck." Remove trucks from our neighborhoods in order to make incremental progress towards righting the environmental injustices that, unchecked, have rampaged high poverty communities for generations. Our residents are not expendable.
I live on this block. IT IS NOT A TRUCK ROUTE and yet dozens of trucks speed by all day and night. my internet cable has been ripped out 3 times by trucks over the height limit, speeding over speed humps. The noise wakes me up, it shakes our building, and it's constant. Not to mention the truck fumes worsening the air quality on entirely residential blocks. Kingsland Ave has had ENOUGH. Enforce the truck route restrictions now!!!!
I and many neighbors have children who frequently go to play at parks in this area (e.g., Franz Siegel Park and Joyce Kilmer playground). Truck traffic has created many dangerously close encounters between children and trucks on the Grand Concourse. I am also deeply concerned about the truck pollution being so close to the many children who play in this area. It would be greatly beneficial is truck traffic were re-routed through another thoroughfare without as many parks, playgrounds and children in the immediate area.
This intersection is always an issue. When there is a traffic cop there it’s fine, but they’re not there when most needed. With the holland tunnel construction traffic being diverted up to this intersection, it’s always clogged and people have to weave around cars just to cross the street This intersection is also the cause of constant noise and never ending horn holding. People trying to make a left on to Dyer from 34th are always causing gridlock. I have all the pictures and video you need of this dangerous intersection
Bike route crosses from one side of the street to the other on this block. There is not a safe route for bikes..it is also near several major parks and the bronx museum. Please don't add giant trucks to this mix.
multiple trucks of all sizes speed downhill on McDonald Ave and often run red lights, since they cannot / do not stop quickly
Residents of the lower Grand Concourse do NOT want trucks or commercial traffic. This particular intersection is already dangerous for speeding trucks and cars, right where kids cross the street to Franz Sigel Park (and a few blocks down to Joyce Kilmer Park). Please reroute trucks somewhere else!
