    When DPW provided these elected officials with this personal benefit, it apparently ignored the alteration requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There is a Courthouse and there are numerous violations of the ADA (and perhaps also Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) on the north side).

    When DPW milled Wall St., it was required to remediate those violations.

    DPW was also required to install a tactile feedback pad on the north side. Someone who needs a tactile feedback pad needs one in both directions or how do they make the return trip??? People can travel from the House of Worship on Wall St. at Orange St. but cannot travel to that House of Worship. There is no point in installing one. A single tactile feedback pad is more dangerous to visually-impaired pedestrians. They will detect one and naturally expect that there is one on the other side of the street because they will assume that the DPW has a basic understanding of their purpose.

    Pleas finish this project in a way that complies with Federal Law.

  • 380 Orange St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Downtown

    Pleas refer this to the Director of Disability Services.

    Someone has apparently replaced a "small section" of a ground surface that is not "firm, stable and slip-resistant" (on a "path for travel" from what Elm City Communities has deemed to be an accessible Public Housing facility to a Public Seating Area in front of a Public School) with a ground surface that is not "firm, stable and slip-resistant."

  • 401 Humphrey St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Bishop-Hine
    The sidewalk needs to be widened in this short stretch. It is too narrow, does not match the width of the other sidewalk strips, and is not ADA-compliant (handicap accessible).
    [Ideally, the damage to the broader part of the sidewalk from tree removal also needs to be fixed.]
  • 920 State St New Haven, Connecticut, 06511 - Bishop-Hine
    resident is reporting raised bricks and sidewalks on the right side of the townhouses in between 920 state st and the tattoo parlor next door their is a small entryway please inspect the sidewalk
  • 219 Bradley St New Haven, CT, 06510, USA - East Rock

    This was reported in August of 2019 and has been ignored since. Federal law requires that New Haven Academy be accessible by at least one accessible parking space.. All three reserved parking spaces across the street from this Public School have had ADA violations at them for many years.

    The ADA does not specifically require that parking spaces that are reserved for people with disabilities be accessible to the people for whom they are reserved. It assumes that a basic understanding of the purpose of these parking spaces exists - and it requires that ground surfaces be "stable, firm, and slip resistant" and it defines the numerous trip hazards that exist at the junctions of the slate slabs.

  • 200 Orange St New Haven, CT, 06510, USA - Town_Green

    It appears that the ADA violations on the access ramp to the polling place for Ward 7 in the Town Hall of Records building have been removed from see,click,fix.

    Please explain.

  • 60 Goffe Terrace New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Beaver Hills
    across the street from 60 Goffe Terrace.
  • 185 Eastern St New Haven, Connecticut, 06513 - Fair Haven Heights

    Eastview Terrace II (Elm City Communities)

    The vertical level change at the bottom of this access ramp exceeds the "absolute maximum" allowed by about two inches.

    I did not trespass and it appears that most of the ramps are at the back of the buildings. This appears to be an installation error, so it is likely to be repeated.

  • 230 Temple St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Downtown
    The City of New Haven failed its attempt to remediate the violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act on the NW corner of Chapel and Temple Sts. The absolute maximum change in level allowed is 1/2," This "remediation" left a change in vertical level that exceeds one inch. It is arguably more dangerous now because it is less obvious.
  • Edgewood Ave & Pendleton St New Haven, CT, 06511, USA - Edgewood
    The sidewalk at the northwest corner of the intersection between Edgewood and Pendleton is not ground down, forcing wheelchair users into the street and off the sidewalk while making their way into the park.
