Why did you respond? Your comment is idiotic, I'd love to move, but it's a little hard once you've bought a house in right before the housing crash. Believe me if I was a renter living on the street I'd have moved after my first couple nights trying to sleep here. We didn't realize what a problem it was here until after we bought the house and where living in it for the first few days. Before we bought the house we weren't aware of how bad the commercial traffic was on the road, it's basically an interstate highway. I thought it was just a normal inner city street. I even sat to watch the traffic for half hour one day when looking at the house before we bought it as I noticed a lot of cars on the road, but at the time only noticed a occasional truck as it was just car traffic of course when I watched the road. After moving in only then did we realize it's a major illegal route for all of the local businesses. They should actually being gong down to the end of Route 11 then turning down Main St in Pittston, but of course they don't and take the short cut down William st.

Also I've never once seen the local police pull anyone over for speeding, or being an over sized truck.

And the city or the state don't want to take responsibility for the street and patch or repave the road. The heavy truck traffic running over the rough roads makes everybody's homes shake on the street. Even neighbors living 2 blocks away can feel the rumble, it's really ridiculous, like a bad movie. Only problem is it's 24x7x365 a year.

There are signs on the top of william st hill right off route 11 as you go down the hill that say trucks have to be less then 6' wide and 35' I believe in length. Also the use of Jack brakes is ridiculous on the road and also something not allowed on an inner city area, it's a residential area not a highway. All commercial traffic should be re-routed off William st.

Four years later, and still no progress if anything worse. More trucks then ever, more speeding then ever. They repaved the road and did nothing to level and fix the deep manhole lid next to our house that makes everything shake when tractor trailers hit it. It's horrible, jake brake noice then BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM as their wheels slam into that hole, the whole house shaking.
