Commercial vehicles banned on Fontana residential street
The Board of Supervisors today ratified a resolution to ban commercial vehicles from a stretch of Redwood Avenue in Fontana after a resident complained they were a nuisance and a public safety issue.
Commercial vehicles will no longer be able to traverse the stretch of Redwood Avenue between Arrow Route and the city limits.
The county's public works department investigated the resident's complaint and determined there are no businesses in the area to warrant commercial vehicle traffic, according to news release issued today by Supervisor Paul Biane, whose district includes Fontana's unincorporated pockets.
In addition, the city of Fontana has banned commercial vehicles on the northern portion of Redwood Avenue between the county border and Foothill Boulevard.
"There are a number of alternate routes truck drivers can use that do cause public safety issues in residential neighborhoods," Biane said in the news release.
Signs will be posted on Redwood Avenue to warn drivers of the new regulations. Trucks traveling the road for local deliveries, trash collection and utility service are exempt.
Residents should report violations to the California Highway Patrol at (909) 980-3994.
