Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Dolonna "Loni" Mecum City Clerk dkm Enclosure (i) Printed on recycled paper • in1 `sy °FE � Agenda Item No . 1 ,0 �p��g1tD Ft� August 3, 1993 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mr. Larry Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Truck Route Ordinance PURPOSE: To seek approval for truck route ordinance as recommended by the Truck Route Task Force. BACKGROUND: The City of Elgin is a diverse community with industry spread throughout the community. In order to minimize the im- pact of very large trucks in residential neighborhoods and still allow those businesses needing very large truck service, truck routes are recommended. The attached list of ninety-two ( 92 ) routes allows the needed access with minimal impact on residen- tial neighborhoods . This recommendation is made after numerous meetings of the Truck Route Task Force, a joint group of busi- nessmen and area residents appointed by the City Council . This ordinance only affects trucks over 73,280 lbs . , more than 8 feet wide, and longer than 55 feet overall . Pending State legislation may further expand the length restriction to 65 feet. No additional restrictions are included in this ordi- nance. FINANCIAL IMPACT These routes would require signage at every junction with existing truck routes . This would usually involve two ( 2 ) signs for every route - approximately 200 signs x $75 = $15, 000 . If the routes are not approved, the businesses in the City of Elgin receiving these very large trucks would be required to seek other trucks for delivery at higher costs or the trucks will be subject to fines for over-length and weight of up to $1,200 per truck.
