Description

The City and Highways have to seriously look into the issue of increasingly more, heavier and faster gravel trucks speeding through the city. There should be a truck route to divert this traffic out of residential areas and school zones.

Or, what might be simpler, is to have a police officer waiting for the trucks to get to the edge of town and ding them all for speeding. Do that a few times and the companies may start telling their drivers to pay more attention.

There should be a dedicated truck route routing the gravel trucks south to the highway. 15th Street should never have been widened to allow and encourage highway traffic through a residential part of town. This has caused fragmentation of the already narrow marginalized west area of the city leading to further decay in once vital neighbourhoods.

And yes I agree with Peg that there is not nearly enough ticketing of over-weight and over-speed vehicles as they enter the city.
