Big rig traffic angers residents

Being that we're located right on the border brings about international trade for our city.
And with that business comes an excess of 18-wheelers passing through our city.
But that's not a problem.
Residents say it’s when those trucks go off their designated route and cut through their neighborhoods that have them all riled up.
Our city is the hub for international trade, hence its nickname The Gateway City.
And without international trade our city would probably not be as prosperous as it is.

"Unfortunately along with that is the astronomical amount of truck traffic that comes through the city."
