The city has started enforcing new truck routes in Southwest Detroit this week. 

For many years, residents have been blowing the horn on trucks clogging up residential streets, shaking homes, and emitting pollution in Southwest Detroit. 

Detroit’s Chief of Infrastructure Sam Krassenstein said on The Metro, community input has led to these changes in one corner of the city.

This is a step in the right direction, but community groups like The Trucks Off Our Street Coalition are calling for a citywide ordinance to address truck troubles in more neighborhoods. 

Changes in Southwest Detroit were previewed at The Trucks Off Our Street Coalition meeting last week. Producer Jack Filbrandt got into these changes and community concerns with Detroit Documenters Katerli Bounds and Noah Kincade.
