Description
Despite the placement of no parking signs on Crescent St. near driveways across from Hillhouse High, cars neglectfully block driveways when they come to the school for weekend and evening sporting competitions at a very high frequency. I have never seen any parking enforcement in my 7 + years here and, as such, us residents with these driveways have been forced to wait out these illegally parked vehicles to use our driveways. It appears that the bike paths, while great, make the appearance of a parking spots in front of driveways (despite the signage stating otherwise). I think to curb this consistent neighborhood nuisance, the City should paint diagonal perpendicular lines on Crescent from the sidewalk lip in front of each driveway to the bike path and also perform parking enforcement during school events.

Insist on a supervisor when calling PD and speak with your district manager.
If that doesn't work just back into the car or drive down the sidewalk. lets see if the PD shows up then. Remember the Police do nothing to PREVENT issues they are only reactionary.
Paint the lines yourself. What are they going to do call the Police ??

Good Luck ??? Seems Hill resident has not been in New Haven long enough to know how things REALLY work.
BLOCK YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY WHEN YOU KNOW AN EVENT IS HAPPENING.
Don't waste your time at these meetings unless you liked to be yessed and dismissed. The DM is NOT responsive, he's polite enough, but will not do anything about parking matters. Real Problem is when you call dispatch they will tell you the PD does not respond to these types of complaints and then you have to argue with them.. if they do show up, they don't have tickets with them....Forget the Alders their worse than the PD. Has any Alder ever called anyone back??? I have never had an Alder call me back other than Jorge Perez in the last 5 years. I politely leave my name number and reason for call and NOTHING. Been there done that for 20 years.
