Last week, we noted that communities from Trenton to the Triborough Bridge are fed up and want relief from truck traffic. The current Transportation Alternatives magazine tells the story of another such neighborhood.

NYC DOT has apparently designated Linden Boulevard, a primarily residential street in the Brooklyn sections of East Flatbush and Brownsville, as a truck route to JFK airport.

But according to NYC's traffic rules and truck route plan, Linden Boulevard is to be used by truck bound only for destinations within Brooklyn.

"Now we have 18 wheelers plowing down our street. Children can't even cross the street without fear of being crushed," Marcella Williams of the Linden Boulevard Neighborhood Improvement Association told T.A. The group has vowed to rid the neighborhood of monster trucks.
