"~'- --._._. r \ I S.Trucks on Polk Street - Staff review of correspondence received with regard to truck traffic on Polk Street indicates complaints are limited to one person. The street is : used by trucks of a couple of lumber mills wit'h log dumps on 2nd between Polk and Gar- ,field. Use of Polk Street by the two mills appears legitimate. Use of Garfield Street 'because of its commercial n~ture in comparison to the residential nature of Polk Street, would necessitate relocation or alteration to the log dump of one mill to facilitate the truck approach. Manager said there had been no further exploration but noted that the Council does have the legal right to restrict truck travel to certain streets. Councilman Murray recognized designated truck routes in the City, even though not yet approved by the State, would not be affected by this particular complaint. But he " commented on the extreme inconvenience to people in the west side neighborhoods having , to tolerate truck traffic past their residences at all hours of the day and night. He said he would like to see some attempt to restrict trucks to other than residential streets. Councilman Wood noted that Eugene is truck routes within the City itself. of residential streets used by truck one of the few cities without designated and posted He thought there should be a limit on the number traffic. - Councilwoman Beal wondered why State approval is required if the City has the legal right to restrict truck traffic. Manager answered that the designated truck routes are involved with S,tate highway routes through the City. The main prOblem-is l.-nsigning to get trucks off th;;-rr~e.way onto Franklin to 6th, 7th, 11th, l3th;.present signing doesn't direct truck traffic~until it reaches the I-105 interchange. He said staff could explore the possibility of-billboard type signs along the freeway. He addea that Polk Street is about the only through route on the west side from 2nd to 28th'~, . ~ so is fed from 6th, 7th, 11th, 13th, and 18th, and probably used by a considerable ~, number of commercial vehicles other than log trucks. .----J 30 1/28/74 - ))
