Which Local Sources Matter In Grand Rapids?
For an off-route pickup or delivery, section 10.36 directs restricted-class vehicles to the nearest truck-route point and then the shortest available access using major streets where possible, with local streets only as needed.
The ordinance gives a special Walker/Stocking exception between Bridge and Leonard for delivery access. It also lists the Eastern-to-Kalamazoo segment of Burton as a truck route only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; this is not a citywide oversize travel window.
