<br /> PO the receipt of a number of complaints from residents of the Ebony Heights section
<br />of Portsmouth, the Director of Planning, Engineering and Inspections has reviewed the problems
<br />of trucks using Tyre Neck Road between West Norfolk Road and Dunkirk Street, and Dunkirk Street
<br />oe~ween Towne Point Road and Tyre Neck Road, as a shortcut from West Norfolk Road to Towne Poin
<br />Road. As a result of this review, it has been determined that traffic si~D~ should be installe
<br />restricting the movement Of trucks fhrough this neighborhood. The City Attorney has advised
<br />that same could be accomplished by the adoption of an amendment to ~23-13, which would prohibit
<br />the operation of trucks of a gross w~ight of thirty six thousand (.36,000) pounds or over on th
<br />stre.ets except for~ the purpose of receiving loads or making deliveries. This restriction has
<br />prevmously been placed on a number of streets throughout the City 'where similar problems have

<br />this restriction."
