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

How fast they go that sometimes you don't know if they are going to stop when the lights change and when they turn
For the residents of the neighborhood, the elderly and the children, it will bring fear and anxiety, if it becomes difficult or dangerous to cross the road
Safety
Trucks turning in dangerous ways.
School located at this corner, trucks often speed and do not slow down for pedestrians crossing the street. School safety officers are posted here but need additional support like a barns dance for pedestrian crossing
As a parent, it is very troubling to see the danger that children and families are in on 60th Street and 3rd Av. Seeing truck drivers drive with so much irresponsibility, regardless of the fact that there are people who need to cross the street, they turn without caring about anything and take a long time to turn the street because they are large trucks and they do not leave us time to cross since the light only has about half a minute of time. I would be very grateful if you would take our voice into account. to improve our community and make it less dangerous.
To whom it may concern, I ask in the most urgent way that you take into account that 60th and 3rd Avenue is very dangerous because of the passage of large trucks since it is dangerous in itself and with large trucks it is more dangerous for our children and the people who help the children to pass, I ask that you consider and perhaps you can remove the passage of cars at entry and exit times. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Trucks often speed here, school is located at this corner and it feels very unsafe for kids and parents
My concern is that they are large trucks and when turning like this at 60th, they do not realize that children are crossing alone. I do not agree with there not being much security when it's time to leave school.
I'm concerned about the cars and trucks making truns at the intersection and every time we pass thru the intersection most of the cars and trucks go fly by and not stopping for the people who are in the middle of crossing the street. And due to the construction of the highway construction above the walk sign is not functioning as intended. Making hard to cross this intersection
