Warehouse manager urges clearer truck signage at Columbia and 165th; board refers to engineering
Summary
Jeremy Trimble of Forry Brothers said 30–40 trucks a day access his facility and that the 'no truck' sign at Columbia and 165th confuses drivers; the board asked engineering to inspect signage and recommend changes.
Jeremy Trimble, facility manager for Forry Brothers (Ileana Transit Warehouse), told the board the site receives "about 30 to 40 trucks a day" and that drivers report trouble finding the facility because a 'no truck' sign at Columbia and 165th sends them elsewhere. Trimble asked for signage that clarifies local deliveries are allowed rather than a blanket prohibition.
Staff said the city recently deployed standardized "through trucks prohibited" signage and that local deliveries are permitted under that sign; staff offered to inspect the location and either replace the old symbol sign or reinstall the standardized sign. The board referred the matter to engineering for follow‑up and asked staff to coordinate signage changes with the facility where feasible.
Trimble emphasized the operational impact on his business and the potential for drivers routed by GPS to be diverted incorrectly; staff and the board discussed tradeoffs between additional signage and potential driver confusion.
