Description
Traveling from New Britain Ave to Flatbush Ave using Stone Street as a thru street. The dump trucks are loading at the quarry and using Stone Street as a thru street to the highway. They are also traveling from Flatbush to New Britain Ave intersection-crossing to Newington Rd. There are sign clearly posted, going both ways for NO THRU TRUCKS. These signs have been posted for 20+ years. The HPD Traffic division has not taken my calls seriously. These trucks with all of the noise from the brakes and heavy loads cause a quality of life issues for residents in this area.

@Al what days can you say is the most common that the trucks pass through Stone St? You mentioned Saturdays, any other day we should be aware of?

Last Saturday I happened to pull out behind one and the truck got onto 84E, traveling past East Hartford (I happened to be going that way as well). The name on that particular truck was Mello Movement LLC (?)
This truck traffic has opened the door to a few 18 wheelers cutting thru, following behind these dump trucks.

Repeat offender. We clearly need an officer early in the morning.

Maybe it needs to be brought back...
Probably an NRZ issue now that requesting speed bumps has to be done through them

Yes there were several different strategies that were put into place years ago while they were working on making Stone St a "No Thru Trucks". Maybe it is time to revisit some of those strategies. I'll take a look into that. Thanks.

A simple fix is to get police cars out there ticketing and enforcing this , not warning the
offenders ! Also maybe DMV as I'm sure quite a few of this trucks are well over the weight
limits. The trucks are there ...every day !

@Will-we definitely need to do something!
The traffic is increasing again. They come at all hours of the day. I stopped a pair of dump trucks on my way home the other night, blocking them with my car-I insisted they go another way. I then called the company listed on the truck and complained.
This issue is not being addressed consistently by the city or the police department. The trucking companies know this and are abusing it.
This is VERY frustrating.

that the city will actually wait for an accident with one of the trucks (God forbid) before they do anything .

the shutting down of the asphalt plants in the next month or so will also help.
Deputy Chief Joe Buyak and Lieutenant Rob Allan are both closely monitoring the situation and are in touch with the NRZ.
