While an occasional semi truck <br /> 34 can be expected on any road,frequent semi truck traffic poses a nuisance to the residents and <br /> 35 could potentially damage infrastructure. City crews have had to replace signs which have been <br /> 36 knocked down by large vehicles turning onto East Kenwood, and prolonged heavy traffic will <br /> 37 increase the rate of pavement deterioration. <br /> .38 <br /> Page 1 <br />
