MANTECA'S TRUCKS
There will be a workshop for truck routes on Thursday evening at 6 p.m.
There is an opportunity to possibly influence the establishment of legal truck routes if you have issues with truck traffic in Manteca, especially if trucks do not make local deliveries.
It is, however, important that the city receives your input in order to make this happen.
The second community workshop for the citywide truck route study will be held at the Manteca Transit Center, 220 Moffat Blvd., on Thursday, Nov. 15. As a result of the community workshop, truck routes will be determined in part based on input from the public.
Taking into account the need to serve employment centers while protecting resident quality of life, the City Council instructed staff to develop a citywide master plan for standard truck routes. They also want STAA routes adopted that will accommodate trucks that exceed California length limits.
As far as truck routes are concerned, the city has been criticized by residents and truckers for not thinking ahead.
During the opening of Spreckels Parks, the city did not designate a STAA route. Several trucking companies started moving goods to and from distribution centers across the country. CHIP ticketed trucks leaving Highway 99 to reach Spreckels Park distribution centers because there was no STAA designated route.
In addition, truckers have complained that the city fails to provide sufficient clearance for right turns when it designates truck routes.
In spite of the fact that Lathrop Road is not a designated STAA route, residents claim they have seen an uptick in STAA trucks using Lathrop Road. STAA trucks have been photographed on standard truck routes going over curbs making right turns because the turn radius was too small.
Furthermore, the city needs to map out where it plans to have truck routes, STAA and otherwise, so that noise and safety can be maximized.
The citys existing business parks that generate significant truck traffic are the Spreckels Park and Manteca Industrial Park that are tied together by the continuous flow of Spreckels Avenue into Industrial Park Drive that is connected to Highway 99 via Yosemite Avenue and the 120 Bypass via South Main Street.
Airport Way between Roth Road and Louise Avenue is also being developed as a corporate park corridor. In southeast Manteca, 1049 acres are zoned for a distribution center business park in the Austin Road annexation.
There is also the possibility229 acres previously approved for the building of 1014 homes could instead be developed as a business park on land sandwiched between Airport Way and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks south of Louise Avenue and the Manteca Unified district office complex to take advantage of the boom for distribution centers.
