Description

Ever since Caltrans constructed the sound wall along the freeway and closed the 880 northbound on ramp, there has been a HUGE problem with gigantic (up to 53 foot long trailers) trucks trying to get from Dreisbach warehouses to the northbound 880. I have fought with all the GPS mapping systems to get the change noted, but have been unsuccessful with some systems and additionally there are still many truckers with outdated systems who get stuck on our streets (E. 9th between 23rd and Portwood and even worse on the ONE WAY loop Portwood to Lisbon (which doesn't even show on your map!!!!). This is maybe my fourth or fifth attempt to get help from the city...today I happen to be home sick from work and intervened in a confrontation which could have gotten violent between a woman truck driver and a seriously angry man who was refusing to allow her to back up even though that was her ONLY option. We need signs on E. 10th at 26th Ave., 27th Ave., Lisbon and Portwood that say "NO FREEWAY ACCESS / NO TRUCKS"
