After conversations began in mid-December regarding Melfort’s Heavy Truck Route, more residents are voicing their concerns over the route, mainly relating to Broadway Avenue South.
At the city’s council meeting on Monday, Jan. 11, several residents voiced their concerns about heavy duty vehicles travelling down the road.
One letter said the semi traffic going by their house on Broadway Ave. South has “dramatically increased”, over the years and that “90 per cent of the heavy trucks are grain trucks.” They added there are upwards of 50 trucks that make their way down that route on a day-to-day basis, sometimes more during harvest. The letter also stated the changes in the area since the road was deemed a Heavy Truck Route, including residential development in the ’80s.

Melfort’s Heavy Truck Route was a big topic of conversation on Monday at the city’s Regular Council Meeting.
The issue came via a letter from a Melfort resident who brought forth the concern about heavy trucks using Broadway Avenue South. The complainant had a couple of reasons for the concern including the condition of the street continues to deteriorate, and that the route goes right passed Maude Burke School. The route is part of Melfort’s Heavy Truck Route as it does connect to Highway 41.
The City of Melfort provided a map with the Heavy Truck Route bolded, and the section. The section in question has been circled by northeastNOW. (Mat Barrett/northeastNOW Staff)
