    Dessa Dr & Edgemere Rd Town of Hamden, CT, 06517, USA - Spring Glen
    Please remove the no parking signs in front of 18 Edgemere Road. They were placed there to keep parents/caretakers of St. Rita's students from parking there during pick up and drop off time. It is done anyway and not policed. However, the pick up and drop off times are limited to M-F during the school year. No visitors to my home can park in front of house ever because of these signs. Given that it is not policed, the person negatively impacted by the signs is the resident.

    Augur St & Whitney Ave Town of Hamden, CT, 06517, USA - Hamden

    The intersection of Augur/Whitney is extremely dangerous. People fly down whitney 60+mph, and taking a left onto augur (traveling northbound) puts you at serious risk of getting hit from behind.

    Additionally there is no signage saying you can't take a left from augur onto whitney, but there is no time to react from cars coming around that corner, they WILL hit you. Also the shell gas station parks vans on a raised platform blocking view of traffic coming from the left.

    This intersection needs a stop light or something, it is simply too dangerous and there are frequently serious accidents here.

  • Putnam Ave & Whitney Ave Hamden, Connecticut, 06517 - Hamden
    The traffic stop line for the traffic light on Putnam Avenue near Whitney Avenue is to close to Whitney Avenue. Large trucks cannot make the turn if vehicles are near the current stop line on Putnam Avenue. The traffic stop line should be back at the location of the street trees near the corner which is approx. 15 feet further back on Putnam Ave.

    143 Belden Rd Hamden CT 06514, United States - Hamden
    From 153 Belden to 133 Belden should be no parking on that side of the street. The combination of people parking on the street and the curves/cross street make it a blind area. Very dangerous!
  • 262-288 Lane St Hamden, CT, 06514, USA - Hamden

    I am writing to formally request the installation of speed bumps on Lane Street near Dunbar School due to ongoing safety concerns. This long, straight stretch of road has become a hotspot for reckless driving, particularly during school hours when children are walking to and from school. Drivers frequently speed through this area, creating a dangerous environment for students, families, and community members.

    In addition to the daytime safety risks, residents regularly report excessive speeding and illegal street racing at night. The noise from these vehicles disrupts the peace of the neighborhood and violates local noise ordinances. More importantly, the combination of high speeds and limited visibility at night increases the risk of serious accidents.

    Installing speed bumps would be a simple yet effective measure to slow down traffic, protect pedestrians, and restore safety to our community. I urge the town of Hamden to take immediate action before a preventable tragedy occurs.

    Please prioritize this request and take the necessary steps to address these ongoing hazards.

  • 128 Broadway Hamden, CT, 06518, USA - test hamden SL
    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this but there is bamboo overtaking the corner of Broadway and Patterson.
    It completely blocks the stop sign and the view of drivers at the intersection.

    150 Welton St Hamden, Connecticut, 06517 - Hamden
    Good morning. My husband and I own Taylor Freezer of CT, located at 130-150 Welton Street. We are requesting to have a sign in front of our building and across the street that says "No Overnight Truck Parking". There have been several hit and run accidents involving our tenant's workers cars because of large trucks/trailers being left on the street in front of our building (mostly across the street) leaving little room for other trucks to pass. The other issue comes when trucks/trailers are left there for many days, sometimes weeks. And snow plowing...big issue.
  • Benham St & Lakeview Ave Hamden, CT, 06514, USA - Hamden
    This intersection needs speed bumps to cut down the speed of cars on benham to Dixwell. Cars taking a right onto benham from lake view have a blind corner to on coming cars. These cars traveling on benham are excessive speed
  • 06517 Hamden, CT, USA - Hamden
    People are driving around the barriers in east rock park, and it is dangerous. I almost got hit by a car while running yesterday, and I saw 5 cars in the blocked off section yesterday on my run from the parking lot in East Rock Park down to the baseball fields. Can we please get some more signage/less mobile barriers?

    this is not an urgent problem but I noticed this set of signs is bent
  • Newhall St Hamden, Connecticut, 06517 - Hamden
    Multiple request sent to the city via email/in person to install a speed hump/stop sign on Newhall/Augur st has proved futile. vehicles keep soaring through the curve day and night and every time someone races through with a loud noise my heart goes to my throat as I wait anxiously for them to pass through. this happens even after midnight. in addition to that, kids stay in this corner for this bus every morning and we see speeding vehicles taking the curve during this time as they care less about the kids. since a couple of incidents happened recently, the city of hamden is responsible in preventing a major disaster or tragedy before they happen again. it's no use fixing this issue after something bad happens. God forbid, if something happens, the city will have to hold themselves responsible for not taking action in a timely manner.
  • Thorpe Dr Hamden, Connecticut, 06514 - Hamden
    Thorpe Drive needs some speed tables or humps. We have several children living on the street.
