n support of CABT’s advocacy program, Hamburg Township in Michigan has adopted a resolution opposing increases to truck size and weight:
“The Hamburg Township Board has approved a resolution opposing any increases in truck size and weight due to safety concerns and to help prevent damage to roads…. The resolution goes on to state “the water table is as little as 18 inches below the roadway in Hamburg Township, which creates difficulties during construction and maintenance. These roads would be uniquely susceptible to increased weights, reducing lifespans and increasing the costs for our taxpayers.” Supervisor Pat Hol reported during Tuesday’s meeting that he and Director of Public Safety/Chief of Police Richard Duffany met recently with Matthew Muir, the Director of Policy and Technology for the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks.”
