New Haven: Internal PLUS

This entire street is cover with potholes.

I just returned from a morning visit to Lighthouse Park. While the common terns and osprey were beautiful, a few other things were not:

1. Speeding cars -- people fly down the driveway in the park. Perhaps install some speed bumps and more signage about the speed limits in the park?
2. The bathroom situation is confusing, and there is no open snack bar!
3. There was litter everywhere, likely leftover from the weekend. I realize that the parks department is low on staff, and no one should be littering to begin with, but why wasn't it cleaned up? It makes for a really unpleasant visit to the beach. What's more, the park's summer camp kids play in that area -- and it's filthy. If all else fails, give the kids some plastic gloves and some trash bags, and ask them to clean up the sand. Maybe that will inspire a new generation to think twice about littering.

Please put more money into our parks department. It's ridiculous that we have a mayor who says he's pro-environment when he allows our parks to fall into disrepair (and, worse, promotes the expansion of the airport in a migration corridor!).

Within the recently completed Farmington River Canal Trail visitors area, in downtown New Haven, one of the backlit displays has a faulty section of lights, which either need repair or replacement.

This was the closest category but there wasn't one that really fit. Many pedestrians leaving the trains at State St Station meander down the new car exit and then walk across traffic (often while looking at their phones), which blocks cars from leaving along the designated path. I have witnessed close calls between pedestrians and vehicles more than once. There is an adjacent crosswalk indicated for pedestrians but many are not using it. I support the current project under construction; I am hoping that Public Works or the appropriate body can investigate the feasibility of adding temporary signage or some other measure to reduce the possibility of conflict between pedestrians and vehicles at this location.

This digger has done serious damage to the yew trees in Phelps Triangle. They should
1. Replant a tree in the damaged location
2. Never park here again.

Requesting side walks to be put in over here so children can safely walk to the school up the street.
