说明
Too many people are speeding down Yale Ave between Edgewood and West Rock, as well as West Rock Ave towards Whalley. These streets run alongside a public park, where there are many adults and children, riding bikes in the bike lane, skate boarding, jogging and walking their dogs. The tragic accident that occured this past week should be sign enough that speed bumps are a needed and a low cost way of preventing more traffic incidents.

Agree. Given that new curbs and infrastructure take time to plan and install, I would advocate for any number of "temporary" solutions, like you suggest, until the street can be made permanently self enforcing (also known as traffic calmed). The City recently did this on Chapel Street until funding could be secured for permanent roadway reconfiguration.
Thinking towards the long-term, getting the neighbors together to submit a complete streets request form would also help. I have outlined some of the reasons for this and methods for approach at http://www.seeclickfix.com/issues/120178.

I'm too an advocate for traffic calming and certainly am glad to represent our neighbors concerns on this issue. The recent accident referred to and indeed traffic included many other factors than road design.
Per the BOA and constituent lead Complete Streets legislation and policy implementation, the still relatively new Complete Streets Manual specifically recommends speed humps in conjunction with other traffic calming and speed mitigation efforts.

I recommend folks read the manual available here:
Please see pgs, 30, 49, 75, 105 for starters.
and as always contact me directly by phone or email.

This issue is being closed on SeeClickFix due to the amount of time that has lapsed. However, if concern still exists regarding this issue, please visit the Engineering Department’s “Complete Streets” website. Link Below:

There you will find a “Complete Streets Manual” and “Project Request Form”. On October 23, 2008, The New Haven Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an order creating a nine member Complete Streets Steering Committee to guide the development of the following elements for the purpose of addressing the status of city streets: policy document, design manual, public process, educational campaign and traffic enforcement.
A focal point is to include feedback and ideas for street improvements from members of the community. You will also find previously submitted project requests from other community members. If this issue still exists please submit a “Project Request Form”. As a resident, you are not required to design anything. Instead, use the "Complete Streets Manual" as a showcase of the different types of traffic calming measures that may be used.
