Friends of East Rock Park continues to work on this issue. Stay tuned...

- Justin Elicker

Friends of East Rock Park took an internet survey on community support for installation of a third stop sign at this intersection. Of the 194 people who responded to the survey, 87.11% supported installation of the stop sign. In response to our efforts, the City of New Haven recently collected traffic data at this intersection of the number and velocity of speeders. Friends of East Rock Park continues to push for the stop sign to be installed and will keep you informed.

I can't count how many times of nearly been in accidents in this intersection due to the fact that oncoming traffic is under the assumption that this is a 3-way stop. It is completely inexcusable for there not to be a stop sign here. This could be a quick, painless fix; what's the hold up?

I too have seen a lot of issues here & agree that a stop sign would be helpful. Just leave the next intersection alone ;-)

As you can imagine, things are always more complicated than they seem.

The Friends of East Rock Park has been advocating for increased safety along English and Farnum Drives. Many of you have likely noticed dotted spray painted lines across the roads at various trail crossings. We are working with the City to paint zebra-style crosswalks at these trail crossings.

Regarding the stop signs, it is strikingly clear that the community wants to see stop signs at these locations. We are in conversations with the City about each of three intersections along English and Farnum Drives and plan to continue to push this issue. I'm optimistic that we'll see some changes in the near future and will keep you informed.

Good idea , my thoughts exactly... You really need one here AND at East Rock Rd & Farnum (next "stop"up) coming from Hamden you have a stop sign and people behind you are wailing on the horn,drivers from ERR add to the confusion (esp.left hand turners)as cars pile into the intersection with no stop sign as they come from State street or Orange - overgrowth makes it worse..
Make it consistent with 3 way stops

This issue has been brought up before. It crops up every few years

confused deer in dashboard lights. stopping, going , stopping again. Wondering why your waiting at the stop sign. drunks from picnics and parties are barrelling down from the top and having no problem with stop signs and who goes first

why don't you buy a stop sign from the internet, and put one up , never mind the slow paced city!!!

I believe somebody was removing the stop signs that are there. Problem solved

any news on this, justin?

Just checking in to see if there has been progress on this.

Should the group fill out a Complete Streets Request Form? http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp
