Just allowing tractor trailer trucks on a street like 5th Avenue creates a dangerous situation. Take a look at the overhead photos . It doesn't look like there's enough room for a large truck to safely pass a parked tractor-trailer without crossing the double yellow line - not to forget any traffic passing in the opposite direction.
Of course businesses need deliveries but they don't have to be delivered in truck this large.
