  • Barnett St & Fountain St New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    New curb installed at the corner of Fountain and Barnett doesn't have a ramp for the Barnett crossing. It seems like this doesn't meet ADA standards for new construction - and is a problem for people pushing strollers at an intersection where cars make quick, sharp turns.
  • 230 Edgewood Ave New Haven, Connecticut, 06511 - Dwight
    These may have been repaired since I toured our Public Schools, There are (or were) hazardous violations of Federal law on both sides of the entrance to the Montessori School On Edgewood.
  • 60-198 Laurel Rd New Haven, CT, 06515, USA - Westville
    This wide, curving, pot hole-filled, one-way road that has broken or entirely lacks sidewalks on parts of both sides is designed to encourage speeding drivers and make it dangerous for people walking or using micromobility vehicles. Redesign is desperately needed. Think smooth sidewalks that don’t flood, (contraflow) micromobility lanes, etc. Might be worth limiting car access to residents.
  • 164 Sherman Ave New Haven, Connecticut, 06511 - Edgewood

    This woman is riding her wheelchair in the roadway to get from the entrance to St. Raphael's Hospital to the municipal parking lot across the street because the sidewalk - from a hospital to a municipal parking lot directly across the street - is not traversable to someone in a wheelchair.

    Why was this allowed to happen? Disparate Impact is the inevitable result of discrimination against people with disabilities. When an urban municipality does not meet its obligations to provide access to people with disabilities, that discrimination will fall disproportionately on low-income communities and in America that means non-white communities.

    This neighborhood, according to Datahaven is 22% White..

  • 182 York St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Dwight

    This detectable warning on the NW corner of Chapel and York has worn into a trip hazard. It is sheer and offers less slip resistance than the concrete it is set into.

    Specifically, this violates 28 CFR 35.133 "(a) A public entity shall maintain in operable working condition those features of facilities and equipment that are required to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities by the Act or this part."

    "Detectable warning" does not mean that a person should be able to detect the entrance to a roadway by sliding on the warning and falling.
