ITEM: 8B1. Consider an ordinance prohibiting through trucks on Falcon Drive from
Wyoming Springs Dr. to Oakwood Blvd; on Oakwood Blvd. from RM
620 to Falcon Dr. (Second Reading)
Department: Transportation Services
Staff Person: Thomas G. Martin, P.E., Director of Transportation Services
Justification:
To enhance the safety of The Oaklands and Oak Creek subdivisions, through commercial
trucks should be prohibited on Falcon Drive, east of Wyoming Springs and Oakwood
Boulevard north of Park Valley Drive including aggregate haulers and other construction
related vehicles. Prohibition of such trucks will promote safety on the roadways, reduce
delays, and prevent the use of the residential neighborhood streets as a cut through.

aggregate haulers and related commercial construction vehicles, utilizing the residential
streets in the area, including Falcon Drive, east of Wyoming Springs, Oakwood Boulevard
north of Park Valley Drive and Oaklands Drive north of RM 620.
