Dead woodchuck on street

Dear Hamden Town Officials,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request assistance with maintaining the cleanliness and safety of Gaylord Mountain Road.

I usually take it upon myself to clean up the litter and clear the gutter areas. However, with the increase in traffic and speeding vehicles, it has become unsafe for me to continue this task alone. Additionally, the overgrown brush is seeping into the road, obstructing visibility and causing damage to vehicles, including mine.

The litter is also becoming increasingly problematic, and it is starting to affect the overall appearance and safety of the area. I believe that with some additional support from the town, we can effectively manage the litter and overgrown brush, ensuring that the water drains properly and the road remains safe for everyone. I know other surrounding towns, such as Woodbridge, Orange and West Hartford enforce their residents to up keep their property- is this something that Hamden would consider? With our high and rising taxes, it’s unfortunate to take pride in your properties appearance and the surrounding properties are run down, leading to a decrease in property value. ge

I kindly request the town’s assistance in addressing these issues. Your support in organizing a cleanup effort and regularly maintaining the area would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Please cut back brush on side of road to property line. debris and water drainage issues.

This street has many nails and debris and no one comes to sweep this street. This is the third time I've had to repair my tires from nails and glass. This is unacceptable. Please call me at 203.571.2533

I didn't know what to place this under, but there's a dead groundhog in the street & Turkey vultures are now eating it. It's obstructing the roadway.

PW - each snowstorm the owners of the parking LOT of HOT Yoga, etc. push the snow into Todd Street forcing vehicles traveling West to East into the left lane. Go to the Hot Yoga parking Lot to witness. Please address this as this is a safety issue.

The same holds for the 55 and older housing, the snow clearing companies push the snow out of the parking lot into the road and block the Farmington Canal. Go to the Farmington Canal North side of Todd to witness. Please address this as this is a safety issue.

Schupp needs street sweeping or storm drains will clog again with first rain
