DoT Meeting on Proposed New Truck Routes

.

Keeping commercial vehicles on their designated routes is a major challenge throughout Baltimore City due to the changing economic and neighborhood conditions within the city.  While truck traffic is necessary to maintain commercial and industrial activity, it is possible to reduce its impact on communities. (Click on flyer to see it fullsize)  Many truck routes have not been examined for their appropriateness and practicality in several decades. The Baltimore City Department of Transportation has conducted an audit of existing truck routes to analyze and ultimately re-route truck traffic to balance both economic viability and community livability.

While the only legal through routes for trucks in the 4th District are York Road and Northern Parkway, if you'd like to see what is and what's going to be allowed elsewhere in the City, please join the Department of Transportation at Barclay Elementary/Middle School (the closest of the citywide public meetings to us!) next Wednesday, February 16th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

 

For more information, contact Jeffrey Fleming, Northeast Community Liaison for the Department of Transportation, at 443-984-4095 or Jeffrey.Fleming@baltimorecity.gov
