CITY OF YAKIMA City Manager Report # 86 May 14, 1970 • To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Subject: Truck Routes Through the City In January, Councilman Robinson suggested a review of truck routes through the City. Accordingly, a study was conducted with the assistance of the City Traffic Engineer and the Fire Marshal. Generally, trucks are divided into two categories. The first are designated Common Freight and are controlled via size and weight limitations. The second are desig- nated Flammable Liquid Carriers. Common Freight Truck routes for common freight or logging trucks are established by signing only and without benefit of ordinance. The only ordinance pertaining to trucks is one which prohibits their entrance into the central business district (except by special permit) during normal business hours. This particular ordinance is not rigidly enforced. Most violations occur when an occasional trucker, unfamiliar with the City, leaves the freeway and unknowingly enters the CBD. We do not have weight restrictions on City streets which make it mandatory for heavy trucks to use one street in preference to another. We have, however, created extra strength streets on routes which we know will be used for heavy hauling such as the section of North 8th Street from Yakima Avenue to the entrance of the Boise Cascade Mill. With the exception of an occasional "lost" driver from out of the Yakima area, we have few problems with heavy trucks in the CBD. One exception occurs during the fruit harvest when some of the straddle trucks used by fruit warehouses and orchard- ists are driven by nonprofessional drivers. Some of their routes and driving patterns are quite unpredictable. Flammable Liquid Carriers Laws currently exist to control the movement of flammable liquid carriers within the City. These laws provide for the changing and updating of routes by the City Traffic Engineer with the approval of the Fire Marshal. These changes become effective when a new route map is filed with the City Clerk and when such routes are properly marked by signs. 111 The map currently in use has not been updated since the opening of the Nob Hill Overpass. The Traffic Engineering Division and the Fire Marshal have completed a study of existing routes and have prepared a new route map, a copy of which is attached. Signs to adequately identify the new routes are being prepared. Recommendation Current laws are adequate for the control of truck traffic within the City of Yakima. Unless you have objections, the truck routes identified on the attached map'will be signed and established. Respectfully submitted, • 7 .�. Craig McMicken City Manager att. iy. . • .. V • ..
