Council tables action on truck routing at Pinedale Road and Main Street to gather more data
Summary
Councilors discussed safety concerns about truck traffic at Pinedale and Main Street and voted unanimously to table immediate action while staff tests alternate routes and gathers driver feedback.
Taylor councilors discussed safety problems at the intersection of Pinedale Road and Main Street, where large trucks have difficulty navigating due to visibility issues and tight turns. Members suggested short‑term mitigations such as signage directing trucks to Airport Loop and designating some roads as unsuitable for large vehicles; any major geometric changes would require Arizona Department of Transportation approval.
Council Member Kris Neff moved to table the action while town staff test alternative routing and gather feedback from truck drivers; the motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Bill Baldwin and passed unanimously.
Next steps: staff will coordinate truck-route testing and report recommended short‑term measures and any necessary ADOT coordination to a future meeting.
