TRUCK ROUTES
(BUSINESS DISTRICT
BYPASS)
RESO #8518 NCS
The object of this business�;d`strict truck route is
to eliminate trucks fr6m Petaluma Boulevard between
Lakeville anq D Streets while still allowing them to
use E. Washington Street, D Stceet, the southerly
and northerly parts of, Petaluma Boulevard and all
of Lakeville. Council heard from the following
people: o
Francisco Fokuda, 45 Payran Street; Ernest Briggs, from
the Dairymen's Association; Bill Moretti, from Small
Scales on Second Street.; Josephine Balistreri, repre-
senting Independent Truckers; Dan Deevy, of the
California Cooperative Creamery; and Claudette Azevedo.
The following concerns were expressed by the speakers:
The-truckers coming off the scales on Second Street
will have difficulty navigating the rise onto the D
Street Bridge with their full loads. This will cause
the truckers an additional expense in fuel and time
in winding their way .through the City of Petaluma to
conduct their business. This will cause additional
truck.traffic on Payran. There will be a traffic
backup caused by tr4cks stacking while waiting to
make a left turn off of Petaluma Boulevard onto
Lakeville. Traffic congestion will be caused by
the truckers coming off of Second Street and turn-
ing left onto D Street to cross the bridge. A
representative California Cooperative Creamery was
assured they would still be able to use.Fair and Liberty
Streets on their -route through town. The hearing was
closed. After some additional discussion, Council
agreed to restrict trucks only during the hours of
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays and holidays excepted, and
this would be a 90 -day trial, after the signs were
installed. Resolution No. 8518 N.C.S. designating
truck routes in and around the central business district
of Petaluma introduced by Councilman Bond and seconded
by Councilman Balshaw.
