  • Lighthouse Point Park - East Shore

    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!).

  • 84 Russell St New Haven, Connecticut, 06513 - Fair Haven Heights
    Requesting side walks to be put in over here so children can safely walk to the school up the street.
  • 401-401 State St New Haven, CT, 06510, USA - Downtown
    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.
  • 747 Quinnipiac Ave New Haven, Connecticut, 06513 - Fair Haven Heights
    I have reported this numerous times. My sidewalk was damaged by city construction. This happened approximately 4 years ago, when the city was replacing sidewalks on Quinnipiac Ave to Clifton St. Further damage happened when sewer lines were worked on twice in a 2 year period. Construction vehicles parked on my sidewalk, causing damage to both the sidewalk and my retaining blocks.

  • 1592 Chapel St New Haven Ct 06511 United States - West River
    This whole section of sidewalk really needs to be scheduled for repair. This is a main thorough fare in New Haven and it’s a really bad look. It’s also completely inaccessible to wheelchairs or folks who have trouble walking.

  • 110-198 Porter St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - West River
    Resident reports that Porter Street has not been paved the whole time he has lived there. Though a dead-end, lots of speeding cars and pitted pavement reports resident.
  • Dean St New Haven, CT, 06512, USA - East Shore
    There are road cracks since the digging at Tweed Airport started on Dean and myron street. Not sure if this has caused structural damage to the houses. When speed is a factor and big trucks it the man holes and the area where the cracks are the house shake so bad you think the house is going to collapse.
  • 60 Ogden St New Haven, Connecticut, 06511 - Prospect Hill

    Phil Langdon asks me to post this issue for him: “For as long as I’ve lived in the neighborhood (39 years), there’s been an approximately 10-foot-long section of Ogden Street that’s missing a sidewalk. For a long time, the missing sidewalk was not a big problem. But in recent years, as roots have protruded above ground, that stretch of missing sidewalk has become a hazard for pedestrians. In the winter, that sidewalk is not shoveled, which adds to the danger for people walking on Ogden Street.

    Could you ask the City to install a sidewalk on that short stretch of Ogden St?”

  • 470 Howard Ave New Haven, Connecticut, 06519 - Hill
    At the curb line on Howard Ave in front of 470 The road against the curb area has a deep depression that holds water and debris that is hazardous because people step off the curb into the deep depression and fall into the water that sits there.
    2 people have fallen into the depression in that area.
