Williams, Jr., City Manager �` <br /> Bruce A. McNabb P.E., Director of Public Works � <br /> Matthew C. Newell P.E., Traffic Engineer �G y�l <br /> SUBJECT: Class II Truck Route <br /> An item on the agenda for the City Council Meeting to be held on September 7, 1999, is <br /> an ordinance designating 21 st Street between Olive and Condit Streets as a Class II truck route. <br /> Designation as a Class II truck route will allow the routine passage of up to 80,000 lb. trucks. <br /> Currently, unless otherwise prohibited, City streets allow up to 73,280 lb. trucks. The attached <br /> map shows the existing Class II streets that are under the City's jurisdiction along with the <br /> currently proposed street. <br /> Staff has proposed the current addition to the City's truck route system in order to obtain <br /> State truck route funding for two projects aimed at improving 21st Street to accommodate Class <br /> II trucks. The first project will be to improve the intersection of Locust and 21st streets. The <br /> second project, currently proposed for Spring of 2000, will be to overlay the surface of 21st <br /> Street from Garfield Avenue to Condit Street. <br /> 21 st Street is a logical route to connect Garfield Avenue with a new intermodal freight <br /> terminal being operated in the Norfolk& Southern railroad yard south of Condit Street. <br /> City staff will be present to answer questions of the Council. <br />
