Council hears reports of semi-trucks damaging yards, refers truck-size limits to committees
Summary
Councilors said semi-trucks have been hitting signage and damaging residential yards; they suggested legislation limiting truck size and referred development of that legislation to Public Service and Public Safety committees.
Councilors raised complaints that semi-trucks have been driving in residential areas, striking signs and 'trashing yards.' Members discussed pursuing legislation limiting the allowed size of trucks in residential neighborhoods and suggested routing draft language through the Public Service and Public Safety committees for development.
No specific trucks, routes, owners or enforcement dates were named at the meeting, nor were draft regulatory dimensions or penalties presented. Councilors agreed to refer the matter to committee for further drafting and review before any ordinance is scheduled for a council vote.
