Pedestrian Signal Acknowledged

Intersection Of Edgewood Avenu And Ella Grasso Blvd. New Haven, CT - Edgewood

There is no pedestrian signal here to cross the Blvd. from Edgewood and it is a very busy road and intersection with people driving fast on it all the time. Edgewood Park is right there so a lot of children and adults with kids have to cross the road there to get to the park. Why are there crosswalk lights in parts of the city that are more well off than others? It drives me nuts and is a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

  I agree! I cross here all the time, it's always very difficult! It is also difficult to cross Edgewood Ave right here, a lot of people make left turns. I've had trouble with people who haven't signaled, and make left turns while I'm walking. There really needs to be a signal to help people cross both Edgewood Ave and the Boulevard.

Large Broken Branch in Tree Canopy Open

455 Whalley Ave. New Haven, CT - Edgewood

one of the trees btwn the sidewalk and the street, between St. Brendan's and the crosswalk to Walkgreen's (Blvd) has a huge broken tree limb stuck in it, over the street. I drive under it weekdays and today noticed it's a little lower than it was a few weeks ago. Strong winds (like the next storm) could knock it loose onto someone or something.

Intersection needs pedestrian signal Acknowledged

Elm Street And Ella Grasso Boulevard New Haven, CT - Edgewood

Ella Grasso Boulevard and Elm St - This is one of the worst intersections in all of New Haven for pedestrians. There is no safe time to cross the street, in any direction. Drivers always ignore the crosswalk, and pedestrians standing in the crosswalk, as if we do not even exist. Once the light is red on EGB, the light is immediately green on Elm, with cars turning both ways onto EGB. I think a 10 second crossing can be factored into traffic flow.

  I agree. This is a terrible intersection for pedestrians. Crosswalk lights would make a world of difference.

Sign 'stumps' on treelawn are dangerous Archived

117 Maple St. New Haven, CT - Edgewood

In November 2011, Maple St. was resurfaced. The street is now smooth, and even the intersections and crosswalks have been restriped. However, the paving contractors dismantled multiple signs during the repave. For a few months, those signs were laying on the treelawn (grass). Then the signs went missing and now we just have very short trip hazards sticking out of the grass.

Please bolt signs to the post stumps, or bring a skidloader and yank the stumps out of the grass. Right now they're very hard to see and somebody is going to get hurt. There are at least two of these in plain sight if you stand at 117 Maple.

Elm/Ellsworth In-Street Pedestrian Sign Needed Acknowledged

804 854 Elm St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Edgewood

The Elm and Ellsworth intersection can be a very un-happy experience for pedestrians at times. The intersection has a blinking light, that many cars ignore and just speed right through. I've stood at the sidewalk, about to cross the street, when a car just drives right on in front of me.

I don't know how much of an effect it will be, but maybe an in-street pedestrian crossing sign might remind some drivers that I'm crossing the street.

  I live near this intersection and see this every day. I don't think people who disregard stop signs and a blinking red light will adhere to any other traffic signs, but can't hurt.
  There's also the issue of people who park illegally on the corners, making it difficult to see any pedestrians (or vehicles) who might be crossing the intersection.

  This is a signalized intersection, therefore, the department will not be placing an in-road pedestrian sign at this location.

  Hi all,
  
  Traffic controls on Elm, Edgewood and Chapel have been requested by a large group of citizens: see http://nhregister.com/articles/2011/08/28/news/new_haven/doc4e5940934abb6722446887.txt. The group acknowledges that in-street signs won't work on these larger, two-lane one way streets, or on many of the cross streets (like Ellsworth) because they have traffic signals.
  
  However, this means that alternative solutions are needed.
  
  Perhaps a more permanent pedestrian median system, or a traffic circle, should be constructed here. These types of lower-cost measures can be incredibly effective: See http://www.usroads.com/journals/rmej/9801/rm980102.htm
  
  If speeding and disregard for pedestrian safety continue to be an issue at Elm and Ellsworth, the neighborhood should fill out and submit a "complete streets" request form at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp. Getting these types of requests on the official public record will really help the city improve the safety of these crossings over time. If you need help completing the form itself you may want to contact your local alderperson or newhavensafestreets at gmail.com. Get as many local residents and Aldermen as possible to sign your request form.
  
  Good luck!

Motorists do not stop for people in crosswalk Open

665 Whalley Ave New Haven, CT 06511 - Edgewood

Tried crossing Whalley Ave. on marked crosswalk (stood in crosswalk, kept slowly inching my way into the road) at West Park Ave. and was passed by a horde of motorists. No one even thought about stopping. Also got trapped in the middle of the road when cars did not stop on the westbound side. I think a new traffic light is warranted here with a countdown-style walk light for the crosswalk. This would help slow traffic on this dangerous stretch of Whalley and allow people to cross safely. Also recommended is a bicycle-actuated signal, so cyclists can turn on to Whalley safely.

  $2,000 to $15,000, depending on when it is installed, the length, and other factors.
  
  Also, if you install them when the roads are being repaved anyways, the cost is negligible. If you go in and install them as part of a separate contract, it is more expensive because of the labor costs.
  
  Whether they are $2K or $15K a piece, I think it's worth it if you get a significant reduction in traffic speed and make a significant reduction in pedestrian and driver injuries, which is what these have been proven to do. Property values across an entire neighborhood go up when you reduce traffic speeds and make streets more accessible.

  Oh, please don't put a light here. There's really not that much traffic on West Park. Speaking as a cyclist, I rarely have to wait that long to make a left turn onto Whalley. And speaking as a driver, there are already so many lights on Whalley that it would be crazy to put in yet another.
  
  If people on this website got their way there would be a traffic signal at every corner in this city. And it would always be red.
  
  There are protected crosswalks one block to the north and one block to the south. Who's crossing to walk to the cemetery?
  
  And since there are already signals at Fitch and Grasso, and Osborn (why isn't that simply a blinker?) enough fake congestion is created to give drivers and cyclists and pedestrians plenty of time to cross Whalley, stop in the middle, lay down, tie a shoe, and reach the other side before a car approaches.
  
  Enough with installing lights already.

  That intersection would actually be a _great_ place for a light, seeing as how drivers speed up and down that hill because there are no traffic controls between Fitch and Osborn. Whenever I drive on this road at 25 mph, like I'm supposed to be doing, I get passed by at least one car doing at least 35. I feel unnerved and rushed even when I'm driving a car on this stretch -- how do children and the elderly feel crossing here as a pedestrian? This is, in truth, an extremely hostile pedestrian environment, and while it may be fine at off-peak times, it is not fun trying to cross there at the rush hours. Seeing as this crosswalk is next to a city park, it is incumbent upon the city to install controls to keep pedestrians safe, many of whom may be children going to said park. If you don't like the amount of lights, use Rt. 34. These people don't deserve cars speeding through their neighborhoods.

  I agree this should be addressed (see below).
  
  Has anyone considered filling out a Complete Streets Request form? See bit.ly/ward7crosswalk for an example.
  
  Fill these out and get as many neighbors and Alderpersons as possible to sign it with you, so that the project will officially get on the city's radar screen.
