Big trucks, big problem














Two 53-foot flatbeds tried to squeeze their way down Hickory Street on Thursday around 8:00 a.m. They had a hard time getting through because of all the construction workers parked on the street. The construction workers have encroachment permits allowing them to park on one side of Hickory and other people are legitimately parking on the other side until 8:00 a.m. This didn’t leave much room for the flatbeds so one driver started honking.Yes, honking.

In addition to the flatbeds, residents on Hickory and nearby streets get to regularly enjoy dump trucks and a large palette lifter that carries heavy loads from Domicile’s 100 Champagne site to its Breezehill and Carling development.

The situation is dangerous, noisy and also worrisome since most of the new development in the area hasn’t started.

CHNA has contacted the City about the problem. We will keep you posted.
