September 2020 Truck Route Ordinance

In August 2020, Councilmembers Giarrusso, Nguyen, and Palmer introduced a By Request ordinance from the Cantrell Administration to cleanup the Truck Route Designations found in Sec. 154-1561 of the City Code and add an annual reporting requirement for oversize load permits.

These amendments to the route designation list will ensure a clear and accurate list and map of New Orleans' truck routes, serving as a basis for the City's efforts around route signage, education and awareness, and enforcement, all aimed at improving compliance of operation of trucks and oversize vehicles on our roads.

This ordinance was adopted by the Council on September 17, 2020.

• Calendar No 33,107 - introduced at the August 20, 2020 Council Meeting
• Amendment to Calendar No. 33,107 - introduced at the September 9, 2020 Public Works and Transportation Committee Meeting
