I agree with J - it would be great to know what tickets are being issued each year and for what. Without this information, there's no way to show that anything is being done.

To that end, dozens of residents and elected officials, including representatives from all 12 of the Community Management Teams in each New Haven neighborhood, requested information on neighborhood traffic enforcement about 16 months ago in a letter to the Mayor.

The request was a follow up to the 2008 Safe Streets Petition, which requested " Beginning in the 3rd Quarter of 2008 and continuing once every quarter, issue a citywide public report on the above two measures, including metrics on enforcement actions taken by neighborhood and number and type of penalties issued;" and was signed by more than 2,200 residents, plus 35 elected officials, and 100 local organizations and businesses.

The Mayor promised the information in his reply to last year's letter. Unfortunately none has been provided, despite repeated additional requests.

Again, until we see if tickets are ever actually issued here, and can track that information year after year, this debate is kind of pointless. Other cities do this. If you are interested in helping to advance this issue please contact newhavensafestreets (at) gmail.com
