If the debris is located in the Town of Hamden I can visit to confirm and I would then pass along the information to New Haven Parks & Rec. Even though a portion of East Rock Park is located in Hamden, the entire park is owned, operated, and maintained by the City of New Haven. I'd be happy to visit the site if you can tell me how far in from the Davis Street entrance I need to go. Ultimately, however, the City of New Haven has maintenance jurisdiction & responsibility for the entire park --- perhaps the SCF app will allow you to create a parallel New Haven complaint for the debris you've been observing? That might be a more effective way to remedy the problem.

I just added this comment to my other ticket about illegal dumping in the same area: "Hi I think it's pretty clearly marked on the SCF ticket map. Can you clarify whether Hamden is responsible for picking this up or is it a New Haven's Parks Department issue? I'm sure New Haven Parks is familiar with the spot. If you descend (head south) on Farnam Drive from Davis you will first pass the main Park entrance road on the left. Keep going. Halfway between that point and the closed-off loop road (about 1/4 of a mile further down/south) you will see the upholstered stuff chucked down off the side of Farnam Drive (the west side of the road). Then keep going until you hit that little closed-off loop road, park there, and again look down/southwest off of Farnam Drive and you will find the tires, mattress/box spring, and other surprises. Again I tried to be pretty specific with the pins I put on the SCF map so maybe bring a printout of that with you. If you give me some notice I'm also happy to stop by and meet you in person to show you the spots and to talk about this ongoing problem with illegal dumping in the park."

As to your comment about geographical jurisdiction per SCF, hopefully someone from SCF is following this thread. I have asked for just such a functionality in the park for some time. To clarify, from the citizen/user point of view you CANNOT choose a municipality. Once you put the issue flag on the map it auto-assigns it to either Hamden or New Haven, and you cannot choose between the two. If New Haven Parks is responsible for all illegal dumping cleanup in East Rock Park, which I think is the case, then the SCF app should not allow an East Rck Park illegal dumping ticket to be assigned to Hamden.

To the best of my knowledge Hamden Public Works has never had any maintenance responsibility for any portion of East Rock Park.

Since it is definitely a New Haven Parks issue (despite the Hamden geo-location) and since you're pretty certain they're already familiar with these heavy dumping spots, it's probably better if we forward the information directly to Rebecca Bombero and Dan Barvir. I'll get their e-mail addresses.

Since the SCF app won't allow us to choose a municipality, we'll have to use old-fashion e-mail.
Director Bombero's address is rbombero@newhavenct.gov and Ranger Barvir's address is
dbarvir@newhavenct.gov.

I'll see what I can do.

I copied your description of the two locations and I e-mailed it to Ms. Bombero and to Mr. Barvir. I'll be closing the issues at this end, but I'll wait a bit for their response (and I'll share it with you as well)

I e-mailed your description of the debris locations to Ms. Bombero and to Mr. Barvir and I've received the following response from Ranger Barvir:

Thanks for the heads up
Reports like yours are coming in daily.
Illegal dumping seems out of control.
We will address matter as soon as possible.
Thanks again

I'll leave this issue open with the hope & expectation that they'll remove the debris in timely fashion

I believe this is New Haven.

Thank you !!

Thanks for staying on top of this @InlandWetlandAgent. I was also under the assumption that New Haven Parks is in charge of dumping remediation in the park, which indicates that there's an ongoing problem with how littering/dumping tickets in East Rock Park are geotagged/routed by SeeClickFix. I'm disappointed that neither New Haven Parks nor SeeClickFix has chimed into this thread to clarify their positions.

Let me know when New Haven Parks removes the debris that is the subject of this complaint. If it's not done in a couple of weeks, I can send Ranger Barvir a reminder. (It's important that they get it removed before the onset of snow and ice)
