Couldn't agree more. Every single day, I see cars going above 50-60 mph near the schools. This could be a GREAT revenue generator if the police would set-up speed traps and start ticketing these people. But, as usual, nothing will happen until after a tragedy. Just as I complained and posted about the lack of complete snow removal in the right-hand, southbound lane to deaf ears and then that poor woman and her baby were forced into the telephone pole and their car flipped over, narrowly missing severe injury/death. Come on City of New Haven, be proactive instead of reactive!

Almost two years since I posted this. Even longer since I complained to the police and mayor. No change in status. Drivers speed routinely and run stops. This morning I watched a jogger nearly hit by a driver aggressively running the light in front of the Hooker School. How can people be so selfish? Why is nothing done to enforce the laws? Very discouraging. I drive in other states and see plenty of police presence but never here. Not on highways or streets. Very dangerous!

Try the alderperson.

I have and she was able to get the police to post a speed trap for a couple of weeks. They pulled over so many people. I and others thanked them. Nothing has happened since.

Call again it worked in the past.

I did but no response

Try traffic and parking

I have; I called, emailed and went to the traffic and parked office and the mayor's office in person. They said it was not their job?!

I would keep calling my alderperson

Why do I have to beg to have people do their jobs? What's more important than children's safety?

It is sad but true, the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Nothing has changed: watched two cars run the red light in front of a school bus before I even left my house in the morning. I keep calling. I don't understand why people feel entitled to endanger others!

There is a plan to slow down traffic on Whitney Ave. State Representative Mike D’Agostino confirmed during the North Edgehill Association annual meeting that the long term plan for Whitney Ave in New Haven is to convert it from four lanes to three with a dedicated center turning lane and generous shoulders that can be used as bike lanes. Link to the proposal: https://newhavenurbanism.org/new-haven-planning/multimodal-transportation-planning/whitney-avenue/ . City transit chief Doug Hausladen also mentioned this long term vision during the Traffic Calming meeting in March.
Short term, there is an initiative to slow down traffic coming into the city from Hamden (crossing to Edgerton Park and St. Thomas School/Church, two blocks from Hooker school). The link to this initiative is: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/2688551 . Hausladen already confirmed that at least a feedback speed sign will be installed.

Is all of Whitney Ave in New Haven consider a city road?

This is wonderful news Darko! Thanks so much!
