San Bernardino council schedules special session on citywide truck routes after heated public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing with dozens of residents, the San Bernardino City Council set a special meeting for Dec. 10 to revise proposed citywide truck routes and introduced an ordinance citing state AB 98 requirements for truck routing and warehouse standards. Residents raised health, safety and road‑damage concerns; staff says maps will be revised.
San Bernardino — The City Council moved Tuesday to continue work on adopting citywide truck routes required by state law, scheduling a special meeting on Dec. 10 to refine maps after a heated public hearing in which residents said proposed routes would bring heavy semitrailer traffic through neighborhoods.
Interim city planner Saeed Naseh told the council the effort responds to AB 98, the 2024 state law that requires cities to adopt truck routes and certain warehouse design standards by Jan. 1, 2026. Staff presented two options: Option A (the planning commission map) and Option B (which removes a Cajon Road linkage and includes other deletions). Naseh said the goal of the route study “was really to get trucks as soon as possible to the freeway so they don't wander around our streets.”
