Discussion of truck traffic problems The City Manager advised the Commission that in researching what other Montana cities were doing in regard to the truck traffic problem, they found other cities were not satisfied with the results. The truck problem still persists. Several persons were present in regard to the problem. The simplest expedient would be to post "No Truck Traffic" signs in problem areas. A more formal approach would be to designate specific truck routes as such. to be deviated only on an occasion of pickup or delivery within a residential area. More likely than not, most of the city's arterials would be designated truck routes. In researching what other Montana cities were doing. the survey was rather basic and elementary, and its results certainly rather easily digested.
