RESIDENTS' COMPLAINS * USA - Advocates of ban on trucks declare victory
Norwalk,CT,USA -The Norwalk Advocate, by John Nickerson -11 Aug 2008: -- A year ago, before through-trucks were banned from traveling Route 136 in Darien and Rowayton, Jody Sattler's neighborhood was filled with the rumbling of wheels headed to and from Interstate 95... Living at Highland Avenue and McKinney Street on Route 136, Sattler watched trucks swing around the 90-degree turn to the village center, sometimes seeing their tires lift off the ground as they careened around the corner... The State Traffic Commission banned through-trucks a year ago, after nearly two decades of trying to block trucks from traversing the waterside community... Residents complained that too many trucks were racing on their way to businesses such as UPS and FedEx on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and other trucking and hauling outfits in South Norwalk... Some companies still are sneaking trucks through, but the ban is working, residents said...
