Signs Acknowledged

120 Mitchell Dr New Haven 06511, United States

There is a pedestrian crossing by the high school and drivers do not slow for pedestrians in the crosswalk. I walk there regularly and cars will come around the turn quickly and not slow down at all when they see me/others crossing the street. In fact, they just continue on at their speed. If Connecticut law requires cars to stop or slow for pedestrians in the crosswalk, there needs to be more signs reminding cars to do so, especially in an area so frequently used by kids and families. I would like to see the city be proactive and take measures to avoid an incident.

Traffic/Road Safety Acknowledged

805 Whitney Avenue New Haven Connecticut

Neither we nor our neighbors can currently cross safely to Edgerton Park and Saint Thomas Church on the other side of the avenue. Cars are driving too fast for this residential area (no one is respecting the 25 miles/hour speed limit) and the next pedestrian crossings on East Rock road and across from the Eli museum are too far and no one uses them as a result. We have two children (2 and 5). We see old people, families, people with strollers and dogs cross all the time at this dangerous juncture. We very much hope the city can install a pedestrian crossing and slow down sign for the safety of all. Thank you.

  I totally agree. I have been asking for years that something be done about this area of Whitney. Drivers go too fast and ignore stops all the time. Very scary whether you're in a car or on foot.

  As the homeowner at 827 Whitney Ave, I also strongly support this request. Please: can we make this neighborhood safer for residents, park-goers, church-goers and schoolchildren crossing Whitney at Burns?!

  Probably the best solution would be to install pedestrian safety island, together with pedestrian crossing. There are two possibilities - Cliff/Whitney and Burns/Whitney. Please check attached pictures.

Traffic Signal / Pedestrian Signal Open

475 Whitney Avenue New Haven, Connecticut

Incredibly dangerous intersection for pedestrians; I've witnessed several people almost hit by cars when crossing. There is no walk signal (just pedestrian crossing lines). When crossing Whitney on the South side, you can see that northbound traffic has a red light, but you can't see that southbound traffic sometimes does not due to the offset left turn arrow, leading to pedestrians almost getting hit.

Please consider adding crossing signals or altering the pattern for this light so pedestrians don't walk into traffic; it's a lawsuit waiting to happen!

ATV Dirt Bike INVASION AGAIN Archived

679 Orange Street New Haven, Connecticut

On Saturday afternoon a literal gang of about seven riders - three on dirt bikes and three on ATVs came roaring south down Orange Street from East Rock Park. They flew through the pedestrian crossings and nearly ran a young family over. Worse, the riders all had on masks, truly terrorizing. The police can't seem to get a handle on this after four years.

  They are all over the place. Its a shame. when I am driving and hear the dirt bikes I look to where they are and pull over. They weave in and out. If they are kids and the bikes are at there parents house the parents should be charged or fined with something.

  Interestingly a friend recently pointed out to me that the dirt bike culture has united kids across neighborhoods where they were previously divided. He and others attribute dirt bike riding to drops in cross neighborhood violence. It's worth some thought. Maybe a dirtbike park up on rte 80?

Parks Request Open

Farnam Dr New Haven, CT, 06511, USA

There is a fallen tree on the path between the East Rock road and Farnam Dr. There is a crosswalk connecting the East Rock path to a path leading to the iron bridge across the Mill River. The fallen tree is near the intersection of the East Rock path and Farnam Dr.
This path is used frequently and I think it would be good to remove the fallen tree.

  Specifically, I think the tree referred to here is on the White Rectangle trail just above the footbridge, not far from the East Rock Road bridge. It is probably visible from the road (Farnam).
  
  There is another, also on the White Rectangle trail, just above the Rice Field crosswalk, right by the place where that trail separates from the one going up the Giant Steps.
  
  These are both big trees. Probably just to be cut through, not removed. And of course the fallen trees on the streets & sidewalks come first. But yes, this is a very popular part of the trail system and if they aren't taken care of people will clamber up short cuts, accelerating soil erosion.

Parking Violation/Abandoned Auto Acknowledged

Canner St & Nicoll St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA

In the evenings (4 PM to 8 PM daily), there are many parking issues (cars parked blocking corners, cars parked on pedestrian crosswalk, etc.) on Canner & Nicoll. Increased parking enforcement needed during these times, before someone gets hurt crossing the street for gym or brewery. City should put same pedestrian crosswalk as they did for Orange & Audobon, where the crosswalk lights up.

Drainage Request Archived

934 State St New Haven, CT 06511, USA

Short-term flooding at intersection of State Street and Bishop Street. The capacity of the curb inlet catch basin could not keep up with the recent storm. The grate-style structure across the street did not have any issues.

Post-storm, water is draining, but not all of it. The low point appears to be somewhere in the crosswalk several feet away. The recent milling and paving may have affected drainage patterns.

Please check the inlet and clean it out if need be. The low point problem should be a punch list priority for the paving contractor.

SNOW RELATED Acknowledged

690 Orange St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA

Public Works usually just pushes snow around instead of removing it from streets, so snow piles end up blocking crosswalks and parking spaces. Right now there are big piles of snow at many crosswalks in the East Rock area, temperatures drop below freezing for the next few days, and they become ice mounds which then can't be plowed or moved.

  Don’t hold your breath that they will do anything differently now or in the future. In East Rock we get semi-ploughed streets with snow in the intersections and never cleared to the curb. In Prospect Hill it’s so clear that it’s as if it never snowed. In Newhallville you would think they just sent a guy with a shovel. #justsayin

Traffic/Road Safety Open

37 Trumbull Street New Haven, Connecticut

There needs to be a replaced pedestrian cross walk sign on Trumbull & Orange and Trumbull & Lincoln. Cars speed very quickly getting on and off the highway, and the crosswalk sign affixed to the sidewalk is obscured by a tree. There is a school on the block, and it is a residential neighborhood. The street is very dangerous for pedestrians.

  At Trumbull and Lincoln an in-road pedestrian sign is placed here (except during winter months). The affixed sign for peds has no sight line obstructions, unless the tree it is near needs to be trimmed. Please follow up if this is a problem once spring roles around. Orange and Trumbull is a signalized intersection, therefore in-road ped signs are not used.

  Hi,
  Thank you for following up. The in-road pedestrian sign used during the spring is constantly knocked down by vehicles, or ignored. It is a very dangerous intersection near a school. For example, there is a new, permanent pedestrian crosswalk with signal flashes at Temple and Wall, which is also one block from an intersection with a traffic light. This option for Trumbull and Lincoln would be much safer than the free-standing pedestrian sign, and more helpful all year around.
  Thank you,
  Resident(s)
