[OMS_MANAGERS] Big trucks on Main St?

[Shawn Irvine]

There’s not much you’re going to be able to do about it unfortunately, unless they’re using some kind of odd residential street as a shortcut.  Many main streets are the main drag through town, so that’s where the traffic goes.  We had success working with a local mill to have them change the way their trucks came and went from the site – from a narrow, unimproved residential street with no sidewalks to a residential street one block over that was wider and had sidewalks.  The plant manager basically listed use of the new road in the delivery instructions and freight papers.  Not sure that’s applicable to your situation though.

Hello,

Are any of your organizations in a City that prohibits big trucks driving down their Main Street or thru their Historic District?

We have many logging trucks in particular that constantly use our Main Street and we are wondering how we could go about getting them to re-route around it?

Anybody on here that has dealt with something like this?

Thank you!
