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

Trucks along Morgan (adjacent to Cooper Park) are often so big that they take up space for bicycle riders to ride safely.
No truck parking / loading, so they double park and causes massive backups along this street, which in turn cases angry drivers who honk, drive aggressively, and run red lights.
The noise level and speed of large trucks on these streets have increased by an alarming rate. It’s both dangerous and effecting quality of life.
Road surface itself is wavy/warped from overweight traffic here in numerous places between Coney Island Ave and Flatbush-- entire foundation of the road probably needs to be rebuilt, very unsafe for bicyclists and large bumps could potentially cause loss of control (space for ice puddles in winter etc) especially as at night everyone speeds along this stretch.
Trucks speed through the lights racing towards the BQE.
Trucks speed to make this light daily. It's right next to two schools.
Metropolitan avenue is too narrow to have trucks on it. I have often witnessed bikes being in great danger next to trucks speeding on this road. The size of the roads should only allow for small trucks.
Trucks are speeding on metropolitan ave especially in the morning rush hours
Trucks park on McDonald ave next to the cemetery overnight. The drivers sleep in the cabs and throw their waste onto the streets. Pedestrians have to walk over bags of feces and bottles of urine. Sometimes when mowing the lawn, the mower runs over a bottle of urine and it reeks for days. Some trucks even park several for several days with their trailers. There should be no parking in this area.
