This information has been passed on to the Commissioner of Public Works, City of West Haven. This issue was addressed in 2006, but apparently is now a problem again. I will continue to monitor this situation.
Councilwoman Gail Burns

There is a drainage issue with the intersection. Everytime the city patches it, the issues comes back because the issue is water flowing over and under the pavement and freezing there in the winter. A storm drain is needed to prevent the issue from coming back once the road is repaved.

Are you talking about Cooper Road? This area will be addressed in the spring.

Previously there was a complaint about 78 Cooper Road and unregistered vehicles. The City of West Haven Code Enforcement Department has told me that the remaining unregistered vehicle is being removed on Monday, March 8th, 2010.

Yes, Cooper Rd. I'm glad to hear its going to be fixed, we need a drain there to prevent the water from destroying the pavement again. Thank you!

Looks like some work was started ...

Work had started but never finished. Nothing has been done in weeks at least.

Hi: I see there is a long history on Cooper Road conditions. I'll see what I can do.

The city still needs to repave the area. The whole road is shot from the long standing water issue. Now that the issue is fixed we need a new road.

The park on this corner has now been defaced. Spray paint graffiti on the new play equipment. Constantly cars parked on the street in front of the park at all hours.

Please send me your name, phone number and address, kept confidential and I will try to get this problem solved.
