and
Perhaps using both (a) gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 pounds and (b)
vehicle which is more than eighty (80) inches in width [except for recreationalvehicles]. pt could
be that a vehicle width measurement different than - more than- eighty (80) inches would work
as the vehicles causing the G Street neighborhood concems are probably about ninety (90) to
ninety-five (95) inches wide.)
