  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Can you please explain why High Meadows is blocked off at Ridge Rd and when it will be open for traffic?
  • 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.
  • Skiff St Hamden, Connecticut, 06518 - Hamden
    this road name directional sign is totally faded
  • 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?
  • 2625 Dixwell Ave Hamden, CT, 06518, USA - Hamden_Feature 001
    Drivers being dangerous in a school zone with children crossing. Road looks like a highway and makes people drive fast, road should be re designed with traffic calming
  • Dixwell Ave Hamden, Connecticut, 06514 - Hamden_Feature 001

    This is the most fitting category I could find to post my request. I understand if it needs to be recategorized, or if you need me to submit this particular request a different way.

    There is no easy way for a bicycle or other slow moving vehicle to turn right off Skiff Street onto Dixwell Avenue northbound, then proceed to the left of the fork off Dixwell Avenue NB onto Shepard Avenue.

    Despite there being a properly sized shoulder at the fork of Dixwell NB/Shepard that cycles and smaller vehicles can theoretically use, there's no safe route on the pavement to do this if the cycle or smaller vehicle is using the right-most lane on Dixwell Avenue after exiting Skiff Street using the bike lane.

    Additionally, the traffic light at Dixwell Avenue southbound won't turn red unless a heavy four-wheeled motor vehicle stops on Shepard Avenue's sensor pad. At that point, if a car is present, Dixwell Avenue SB will turn red for Shepard Avenue to turn green. If there is no car waiting on Shepard Avenue to cross Dixwell Avenue SB, any bicycle or other smaller vehicle must risk crossing Dixwell Avenue SB while it has a green light.

    There's no provisioning for riders of smaller vehicles that are using the bike lane on Skiff Street to safely travel from Skiff/Dixwell to Dixwell/Shepard. Cars driving on Dixwell Avenue northbound often dangerously speed past and disregard anyone not using a four-wheeled motor vehicle.

    Can this be addressed along with the other improvements recently slated for the area?
