“37. We will wait to see how Holbrook responds to our request. Councilor Carey stated we are diligent on this we are staying on top of it this, we are looking into it and moving forward. Councilor Kokoros asked why can't we put a 2 ½ ton restriction on South Street. David Soares, Traffic Engineer stated there is a process to go through the state for a truck exclusion. It is required you give an alternate route. The problem is this would send trucks into Holbrook. Holbrook would have to agree to this truck exclusion. We could put up the signs but it could not be legally enforceable. Mr. Barbuto stated years ago there were signs saying "No Trucks".
