A long-awaited report on recommendations for truck safety in Ithaca was released Tuesday.

The Joint Work Group on Truck Safety has released a full list of proposals and recommendations to improve truck safety in Ithaca.

The group was formed following a fatal crash in June, when the driver of a truck carrying several vehicles lost control of the truck and crashed into the Simeon’s restaurant on the Commons. Amanda Bush, a 27-year-old restaurant employee from Lansing, was killed in the crash.

“The ideas have come from multiple sources, including the general public and engineers from the city, county and the New York State Department of Transportation,” Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton said in a statement. The recommendations are not set in stone, she added.

A public information meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ithaca Town Hall.

Some of the group’s changes have already been implemented, including cutting down trees and brush to improve visibility of signs and adding “truck/hill warning signs with flashers.”

However, many of the proposed changes, such as lowering speed limits for trucks on city approaches, were listed as “not recommended” due to state regulations prohibiting having different speed limits.

“Studies show that having different speeds on shared roads can be dangerous,” the report reads. “Decrease in speeds may lead to higher Jake Brake use and more noise.”

A sign that would redirect trucks above certain weight and size to enter the city through Route 13 is listed as “under consideration.”

The group consisted of Lifton, Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick, Tompkins County Legislature Chair Mike Lane, Fernando de Aragon of the Ithaca-Tompkins Transportation Council, and representatives from the Syracuse Regional Office of the New York State Department of Transportation.
