4 Existing Routes
•
The City’s 2010 General Plan Circulation Element
identifies the established truck routes within the City. •
Truck routes provide legal access for legal load trucks to travel through the City with no specific destination within the City (
i.e.
trucks can pass through the City
on these streets).
•
State law allows trucks with a
bona
-
fide
delivery or
pick
-
up
point within the City to use any public street
provided the route is the shortest trip to or from a
truck route.
•
The truck route study considered these facts and
evaluated whether any existing truck routes should
be decommissioned (removed) or added (new).

The General Plan Update process may require 18

Interim Urgency
