Perhaps the W.R.P.D. would be an appropriate agency this evening.

Really Grampster and how much do you think the garbage truck weights that goes to your house every week. I am pretty sure it weights just as much even more or dont you have garbage.

Will check the condition of the street and determine if this is an allowable use.

Buffalo Wings: The law was put in place for a legitimate reason. I don't wish to pay increased taxes to repair a street simply because one person chooses not to drive to work in their personal vehicle. It's common sense and common courtesy. At 7 cents a pound for the first one thousand pounds and 14 cents a pound thereafter for each remaining pound how angry will his employer be if he gets written up on a city street? Common sense.

Checked conditions of street...minor scuffing of chip seal. Will check Municipal Code to see if there is a violation regarding truck parking.

They have no business parking in a residential neighborhood!!!

Now people why don't you think logic than stupidity. At least hes working not like all the riff raff that is living off the county.

You are such a troll Buffalo Wings!

A troll well thank you, I don't know whether to laugh at you or pity you.

It looks like the city has no ordinance for this, I don't know why bringing your work vehicle home should be a problem its probably closer to his work or they have only one vehicle to share in the family. Grampster get a grip or taxes are going up anyway with what the Mayor has proposed, so chill out.

Our interpretation of the ordinance does not allow for parking this type of truck in a residential area. Police Department is aware of the situation and will make contact with the owner.

Thank you!

Black Tie: All City streets have a 5 ton weight limit unless making a delivery. Delivering your butt home does not count. The laws were put in place to protect the City infrastructure. Make one exception and make them all. I was in dispatch so I know a little about what I speak of.

Good to hear

Way to nit pick. I guess what would we doing someone didn't have something to complain about. Why say something now when it's been parked there for 15 years! Oh wait, the roads are still able to be driven on after 15. At least the guy has a day job rather than driving around complaining about someone else's driveway.

Well if thats the case you dont need garbaged picked up or your street plowed.

Umm black tie, that's just asinine. Of course city service vehicles are exempt. But I bet you already knew that.

Its been parked there for 15 years really must have a grudge for your neighbor .

No name i agree with you what ever happened to neighbors being good for each other no they would rather stir the pot. you know Grampster i hope you are proud of yourself and sleep at night. People are going to get sick of all you busy bodies and leave this city, and all you busy bodies are going to be left with the hefty tax bill because all the ones that work will be gone and all you will have left is your road and renters that dont pay taxes. So ponder on that one.

black tie: Will I be invited to your going away party? If not, best of luck and good riddance.

Closed

Perhaps it will take a citation to the employer to close this issue.

Too bad they didn't have citations for people who have midlife and whine about everything. Retirement not going well for ya? Or do you just simply need something to complain about in order to have a good day?

I think gramps ter you need to close the issue. The road is not hurt any worse than any young kid who squeels his tires and leaves black marks on it. Maybe you should have a citation for being a nit picker.

Grampster I think you have other people you think your a bully in mid life>

Its the law. Sorry its not convenient but it was put in pl
ace for a reason.

Enough.

It's the law how hard is it for you guys on this website to understand that!!!

It's parked on his property in his drive way, how is that any of your people's business? If the cops were that concerned about your complaint, which is ridiculous in the first place, they would have said something. Go find a yard that doesn't have cut grass to complain about.

As a matter of fact the police do know about the truck and they have no problem with it.

I would like to know the Municipal Code for this.

I have look at all the Ordinances over and over and cant find anything would you please give me the Municipal Code number so i can see it for my self.

Yes we would like to know what the municipal code is for this.

The Code does not allow this type of truck in a residential area. The Police Dept is aware of the situation and plans on making contact with the trucker.

So the code is what where is this written i want to see it in black and white not hearsay as you say it is it should be in print so where is it.

Buffalo Wings: I sorta gave up on this but the fact of the matter is ALL city streets have a 5 ton weight limit unless otherwise posted or that vehicle is making a delivery. If making a delivery that vehicle must stay on state or county highways as much as possible up to the point of delivery. Its not rocket science and that is pretty much the way all municipalities operate. If they want to make an exception for him fine but they must be prepared to make exceptions for others as well. 10-4?

Grampster they are not parked on the street he is parked in his driveway i want to see the written code is that so hard to understand 10-4

He traverses a street with a 10000 pound weight limit with a 28000 pound truck. Unless it is tele-transported I assume it is driven there.

Closed

Some people don't know how to read street signs hahah!

I haven't seen any flying dump trucks in Rapids yet lol

municipal code please

I guess the plow trucks and garbage trucks should tell-transport too so they don't wreck the road and make your taxes higher too. I figured a know-it-all such as yourself would be able to direct people in the direction of where the law is written.

After digging through the ordinances I find that there currently is an exception in the code allowing persons to drive and park heavy vehicles off-street in residential neighborhoods. My bad. The law is the law whether it makes sense or not. See the info below.

340.008 TRUCK ROUTES (1) Weight Limits and Heavy Traffic Routes (MC#832) (a) Operation of a Vehicle Whose Weight is in Excess of Five Tons. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any motor vehicle whose weight is in excess of five tons over any street in the City of Wisconsin Rapids, which is not a county trunk, state highway, or federal highway, or which is not designated as a truck route, except as follows. Note: Marked business routes of state highways are not truck routes. (1) Operating while actually engaged in deliveries or pickup to business or residence from the nearest designated truck route. (2) Going to or from the place the vehicle is kept by the owner and/or operator. The vehicle must be parked off-street. (3) Going to or from points within the city for purpose of having the vehicle serviced,

repaired, or while being tested. (4) When operating a truck which is customarily used to transport workmen or equipment and while being so used. Also: (f) Overnight Truck Parking. No trucks or trailers in excess of five tons capacity shall be parked within 175 feet of a residential zone between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., except as follows: (1) One semi-tractor, stake truck, or van, excluding semi-trailers, may be parked at the residence of the operator. On-street parking is prohibited. (MC#823) (2) No motors are left idling, including those necessary for air-conditioning and refrigeration units. (3) Trucks and trailers are parked in authorized areas and are not actively engaged in hook-up or loading activities during the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

It looks to me Grampster you owe the guy an apologize.

Maybe you should go jump in a lake. It doesn't concern you.

Yes it does and everyone of you that pick on people.

Now maybe grampster you can find something else to complain about. If you would have looked that up in the first place none of this would have happened. Maybe you need something else to occupy your time than picking on people.

Jmoney and Graduated, I guess you should read what the actual law says before butting your nose in someone else's business. Must be a good piece of humble pie for you huh Grampster? Like I said, there are plenty of yards with long grass for you to complain about if you really need something to complain about. I agree, you own them an apology for coming on here and doing nothing but spewing harsh words and complaints when you were in the wrong in the first place.

I think we should all meet up for breakfast somewhere face to face and tell us how bad of people we are!!!!

Grampster doesn't owe anyone @#$%

Close it. This is what the city allows so be it.
