Berlin Approves Truck Ban On Baker Street; Property Owner To Relocate Harrison Avenue Barricade

BERLIN – In spite of concerns from representatives of the Adkins Company, town officials approved a prohibition of trucks on Baker Street.

On Monday the Berlin Town Council updated the definition of “truck” in the town code and then passed a resolution to prohibit trucks on Baker Street that goes into effect May 28.

Mayor Gee Williams said the changes were meant to slow the deterioration of historic Baker Street, the only road in town still featuring oyster shell cement.

“This town is committed to preserving that roadway,” Mayor Gee Williams said.

The language approved defines a truck as any vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) exceeding 14,000 pounds. The resolution approved prohibits trucks from traveling on Baker Street unless they’re making deliveries to a business or residence on the street.

  2. Berlin needs to pay $400,000 and be done with it. You cant just buy the road and cut the property in two. The mayor is being totally unreasonable.
