Tomorrow: Meeting On 20th Street Truck Route Area Study

A reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3 at 6:30pm, Community Board 7‘s Transportation Committee, along with the neighboring Community Board 14, will hold a joint meeting at the Windsor Terrace Library (160 East 5th Street, at the corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway) about the 20th Street Truck Route Area Study.

The DOT launched the study after more than 200 residents of 20th Street signed a petition in 2010 requesting that the DOT study the truck route on that street, between 3rd and 7th Avenues, to see if it could be changed to one-way. The petition cited property damages and congestion due to two-way truck traffic on the narrow street.

The DOT is currently conducting a traffic study to develop truck route alternatives for this area.

For more information about the upcoming meeting, you can call CB 7 at 718-854-0003.
