Subject:
Petition #3873, filed by Mrs. Rex McArthur for NO THROUGH
TRUCK TRAFFIC on Eastborough Road between Country Club
Road and North Street
This office has conducted a study of this section of Eastborough Road.
This is a collector street, with a country type section with open ditches
on both sides. It is residential on the east side and Country Club Golf
Course on the west side. The pavement is a light type asphalt surface
approximately 22 feet in width, constructed prior to annexation into
the Ci ty.
The average daily traffic volume on this section of Eastborough Road
is 400 to 425 vehicles per day. We took five different hourly traffic
counts at the intersection of Eastborough Road and Country Club Road,
(three peak hour and two office peak hour). The percentage of truck traffic
varied during these five hours, with an average of 11%. Trucks were con-
sidered to be vehicles with more than four tires on the ground. The truck
traffic consists of 4% construction trucks, 2% concrete trucks, 4% semi-
trailer and 1% farm trucks. This section of Eastborough Road is posted
for 30 m.p.h. at the present time.
These construction trucks and concrete trucks are coming from their
base station on east North Street, wishing to go to the southeast part of
the City. The vehicles have an origin and destination within the City.
The semi-trailer trucks are believed to be coming from outside the City
from the north, to the industrial area and grain elevators on East Country
Club Road. By taking this route, these trucks are all avoiding the use
of Ohio Street from North Street to Iron Avenue, and Iron Avenue from
r"'r' j
Ohio Street to Marymount Road. These streets are als~ residentiaL along
w-ith some ~ci à-l ~.
If this section of Eastborough Road was posted for NO THROUGH TRUCK
TRAFFIC, it would only prohibit the semi-trailer truck, which is only
4% of the traffic. All other trucks have a destination within the City.
Large trucks cause traffic congestion on the high volume City streets,
especially making turning movements at a busy intersection such as Ohio
and Iron Avenue.
The point of the petition seems to be that the trucks are tearing up
the street surface. If this street wasa-quality~tf~t, constructed to
City standard, these trucks would not have near the effect on the street
as they do on the existing surface.
